This book endeavors to improve the study skills and the reading and thinking abilities of college students, specifically, their reading comprehension, the core objective of any reading activity. Considered as synonymous with reading, thinking in all its levels-lower and higher processes�prevails in every reading component of the book. Focusing on thinking as the means to comprehend a text, this learning material also stresses the role of Writing, another thinking activity, in enhancing students reading comprehension. This book is useful in a constructivist or learner-centered type of learning program because it dominantly consists of learning activities to give way to a powerful reading called metacognitive or strategic reading that drives students to infer, criticize, appreciate, apply, create, and construct something based on what they have read.
