These two manuals, one designed for students and the other for instructors, offer information on the development of reading, listening, and study strategies. The student manual begins with information on the instructional approach that will be used and the characteristics of active readers, writers, planners, listeners, and students. The introductory section also outlines the changes between junior high, high school, and college in terms of study strategies, academic conditions and expectations, grading, and study skills. Subsequent sections focus on: (1) study strategies used by successful students; (2) planning and organizing study on a term and daily basis, and starting and completing assignments; (3) previewing strategies for identifying the most important topics in expository texts and fictional narratives; (4) comprehension monitoring strategies; (5) comprehension fix-up strategies; (6) identifying the writing patterns used by authors; (7) strategies for highlighting and taking notes in a text; (8) strategies for listening and notetaking during lectures; (9) preparing for exams; (10) study and memory strategies; and (11) strategies for taking exams. Each section is accompanied by a thinking guide outlining specific steps and activities. The teachers manual begins by reviewing the literature on reading comprehension instruction, the characteristics of passive students, and program goals. The manual contains guidelines concerning cognitive modeling and reciprocal teaching, activating and organizing students' prior knowledge, teaching concepts, visual mapping, and transfer of training. Finally, instructions for using each of the 11 modules in the student manual are provided. (GFW)
