Good reading skills are critical to passing your high school equivalency test, but just as important for college level reading and comprehension. The Essential Reading Skills workbook focuses on developing high level vocabulary skills as well as a deep understanding of how to identify central themes, arguments, literary conventions, story structure, and point of view. You get practice on reading strategically with both fiction and nonfiction texts while learning the must-have-skills of questioning while reading, skimming and scanning, and how to use graphic organizers to develop deep meaning in texts.
