{"product_id":"janet-r-swinton-read-and-respond-9780195330106","title":"Read and Respond","description":"The Fourth Edition of this popular combination text\/anthology integrates reading and writing skills. The approach of Read and Respond is unique: students are assessed for comprehension through summary-writing rather than objective testing. After summarizing an article, students write a personal response. Because the summary and personal response are written in the students' own words, the instructor gains valuable insight into their vocabulary and writing ability. As a result, students develop proficiency in reading, writing, and critical thinking.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n The new edition retains the best features of the previous editions.
