A comprehensive guide to reading, understanding, and retaining
college-level material
Bridging the Gap: College Reading is trusted for its scaffolded
approach to building upon prior knowledge, or schemata, and its
unmatched quality and quantity of exercises. The higher-level text in
the acclaimed Smith/Morris two-book series, it gives students ample
opportunities to apply their skills, ultimately building new "bridges"
with text-to-text, text-to-world, and text-to-self connections.
The 13th Edition upholds the philosophy and approach of previous
editions, but in an updated and contemporary manner. The authors
encourage students to build on their previous reading experience to
develop strategies for the demands of college reading; each chapter is a
stepping stone to the next. Readings have been updated throughout and
include many engaging, relevant topics pertinent to the college
community. Examples from respected sources such as The Associated Press
and the Los Angeles Times model strong writing, and lexile levels have
been added next to longer readings.
Personalize learning with MyLab Reading
By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible
platform, MyLab Reading personalizes the learning experience and
