Reading and Writing about Contemporary Issues Tapa blanda - 2016 - 2nd Edición

Kathleen T. McWhorter has taught reading and writing courses for over 30 years at Niagara County Community College. Her many titles provide various and flexible approaches to teaching reading and writing strategies that accommodate a range of learning and teaching styles.

All of the McWhorter books share three fundamental characteristics that have led to enormous success in the classroom:

INTEGRATION OF READING AND WRITING

Reading and its integral connection to writing is emphasized throughout the books, helping students to see reading and writing as complementary processes.

FOCUS ON CRITICAL THINKING

McWhorter recognizes, and features throughout her books, the role and benefits of critical thinking in the reading and writing processes.

EMPHASIS ON VISUAL LITERACY

Print and electronic sources, including textbooks, are becoming increasingly visual. McWhorter's books include chapters, exercises, and features that all reinforce visual literacy.
