Reading for Life: A Reading Manual for Transitioning into College

Reading for Life provides an inspiration for living an improved life in a workbook format.  Based on five uplifting works, the guide attempts to show the reader that no matter the adversity one must face, there are ways to improve one’s outlook and living.  The five thought-provoking works included in the guide are:  Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom,  The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch,  We Beat the Street by the Three Doctors,  Learning From the Heart by Dr. Daniel Gottlieb and The Freshman Survival Guide. 

Reading for Life is ideal for classroom use; it makes teaching and learning easy but provides meaningful, in depth reading content for class study.  For each of the five books included in the manual, there is a study guide, several related exercises, vocabulary exercises and more, all in a workbook format, ready to turn in, with serrated pages for easy removal.  No duplication of lessons is needed; it is all provided.  There is an instructor’s manual available upon request so answers can be obtained if desired. The book also introduces students to the college experience and helps them adjust to the new life. Reading for life provides a basis for improvement or productive change in life whether the reader is a student or an independent reader who just want to grow.  After all the goal for all readers needs to be lifelong reading and learning.
