Developed for students at the 10-12 reading level, MINDSCAPES: CRITICAL READING SKILLS AND STRATEGIES, 2E helps students become stronger readers based on how the brain best processes and learns information. Christine Evans Carter has developed a powerful approach to building reading skills that is based on the latest research in brain-based learning; when students recognize the structure and organization of information, they maximize their learning power. This focus on text structure provides a scaffold onto which developmental-level readers can apply new knowledge. Information is presented in a carefully crafted sequence that serves to build upon prior knowledge and expand understanding of skills and strategies in a recursive manner. In addition, each chapter includes study skills and discipline-specific vocabulary and reading strategies to help students succeed in all of their courses.

Raised in Toronto, Christine Evans Carter is a professor of reading in the English department and has taught reading and writing at St. Louis Community College for almost 20 years. She holds two master�s degrees in anthropology and reading along with a graduate certificate in gender studies. She has published two textbooks about reading skills and strategies for college learners with Cengage.
