Review Quotes:
"Reading across the Disciplines truly cuts across disciplines and approaches and shows explicitly why teaching reading should be an integral part of every course. Its exploration of the intersection of reading instruction (and its importance) and SoTL makes this a wonderful book for a general and transdisciplinary audience."--Nicole Simmons, Brock University
"Reading across the Disciplines offers a useful set of chapters detailing a range of approaches to dealing with students' reading needs at the college level. As the Introduction points out, there is a real need for instructors across the curriculum to work on reading in every course along with a great deal of resistance to doing so. The more faculty members in all disciplines see a variety of ways to help students with reading, the more likely they are to begin to adopt some of these approaches in their classrooms regardless of their subject areas, a development urgently needed everywhere."--Alice S. Horning, Oakland University
