Have you ever spent ten minutes on one page of a book? Or rented The Great Gatsby just to avoid reading the original? Or just thrown up your hands and resigned yourself to purchasing the CliffsNotes for every book on your classroom reading list? Reading doesn't have to be a chore. Once you learn a few strategies, it can even be--dare we say it?--fun. That's why we at The Princeton Review created Reading Smart, a book designed to help people who have a hard time keeping up with assignments, understanding novels, or just reading efficiently. Reading Smart will help you increase your reading speed and comprehension with techniques like pre-reading, pen-marking, mapping, clustering, and much more. From textbooks to poetry, Reading Smart, 2nd Edition, will help you get the most out of everything you read!
