The revolutionary approach of D.J. Henry’s The Effective Reader / Writer offers a visually rich, high-interest, and down-to-earth approach that reinforces the reading, writing, and thinking processes while showing students how to take responsibility for their learning.

The Effective Reader/Writer offers a balanced approach to literacy by bringing instruction for reading and writing together in one textbook. Emphasis on reading and writing as processes is embedded in instruction throughout. The reading, writing, and reading/writing processes are introduced and illustrated (utilizing Dorling-Kindersley design) in Unit 1 with two-page full-color graphics that explain and visually represent these processes individually and then show how they work together. Appropriate process icons appear throughout the textbook as signals to guide students through the reading and writing process of particular assignments (in the eText and in the MySkillsLab book-specific module, these icons launch videos and interactive media that help broaden student understanding).

Perhaps one of the greatest motivations and underlying goal of The Effective Reader/Writer is to offer an opportunity to develop the literacy skills of students as quickly as possible. To do so, The Effective Reader/Writer taps intobrain-based learning, fosters metacognition, places instruction in meaningfulcontexts, and engages students with high-interest content and visualpresentation.

Features + Benefits
· The ground-breaking design of The Effective Reader / Writer (developed in conjunction with Dorling Kindersley Publishers [DK]) makes writing, reading and thinking processes visible, and shows the interconnected processes rather than just informing students about them.

· This visual approach—created specifically for today’s visually-oriented learners-is complemented by the student-centered learning strategy called “What’s the Point?” Not only does "What's the Point?" demonstrate real-world scenarios or applications of reading, writing, and thinking in context, but this directed thinking activity also prompts students to set a learning goal, call on prior knowledge, predict information, focus on structure, and generate details for each interrelated lesson. Thus, the visual approach and the “What's the Point?” theme of The Effective reader / Writer inspire student-centered learning and motivation by illustrating the power of reading, writing, and thinking in life.

· Critical thinking is vital to success in college and beyond. A critical thinker raises questions, considers multiple perspectives, gathers,analyzes, and assesses information, applies new knowledge, and reflects toself-improve. While Unit 5 offers extensive direct instruction for the high levelcritical thinking skills, The Effective Reader/Writer deepens critical thinking byasking students to assume the role of both readers and writers within eachand every module.

· Critical thinkers are engaged learners who think about their thinking (metacognition).The Effective Reader/Writerfosters and encourages engaged learningand metacognition.

· Each module in Units 1–6 begins by stating student learning outcomes and offering pre-learning activities called “What’s the Point?” that guide students in the use of predicting, questioning, and setting a purpose for learning. Throughout the modules, students learn by applying core concepts to meaningful reading and writing situations, thereby developing and internalizing reading and writing processes. Modules end with after-learning summaries and applications tied to the module’s student learning outcomes so students may self-assess, monitor progress, and address individual needs.

· The best way to learn is to do. Thus, one of the primary aims of this text is to give students plentiful opportunities to apply what they are learning. Every concept introduced in the book is accompanied by an explanation of the concept, an example with explanation of the example, and one or more practice exercises.

· Each module contains two review tests, in which students read passages to practice their reading skills and then respond to the passage in writing based on a What Do You Think? writing prompt.

· Each module closes with a review that enables students to self-assess, monitor progress, and address individual needs.

· Each module features a section of reading and writing assignments. These assignments create realistic writing situations that direct students to consider audience and purpose as they respond to topics and situations relevant to “Everyday Life,” “College Life,” and “Working Life.” Thus, the text offers several levels of learning. Not only are students given an abundance of practice so that they focus on individual skills, but they are also provided with challenging writing situations in which to employ their reading/writing process.

· The Effective Reader/Writer engages students’ interests and builds on their prior knowledge by offering high-interest topics and assignments relevant to their academic, personal, and career lives.

· The Effective Reader/Writer offers students access to and experience with materials that present both professional and student writing that span various patterns of organization and genres (such as essays, textbook excerpts, articles from books, magazines, online sources). Through immersion in text structure, students develop a sense of why an author chooses a particular organizational pattern or genre for a specific purpose. Students experience the power of well-organized text to convey a message.
