Synopsis

Written for the mid to high-level developmental reading course, Bridging the Gap , Seventh Edition by Brenda Smith continues to be the #1 textbook choice of developmental reading educators.

Bridging the Gap was the first book to focus on how to read college textbooks. Over the course of several editions, this theme has been broadened by linking textbook readings to recent news in the popular press and adding material on critical thinking and the Internet. A hallmark of the text, the end-of-chapter readings represent three different reading levels (9th-10th, 10th-12th, 12th+) to permit individualization of assignments to meet varying student needs. A variety of academic disciplines are represented throughout, including psychology, history, biology, business, allied health, English literature, and more.

The seventh edition of Bridging the Gap has been carefully developed with the needs of developmental reading students and instructors in mind. A new emphasis on cultural literacy is realized in a new feature called “Concept Prep” created to help students develop a schema of major concepts and people in the academic disciplines.
