Flemming's READING FOR RESULTS, 14th EDITION, offers explanations and exercises that will help you enlarge your reading vocabulary and show you exactly what to look for when you read. Above all, it will teach you how to store what you learn in your long-term memory. This edition offers more tips about how to read writing created specifically for the web and also a step-by-step explanation of how to find the focus in an academic text. An updated discussion of SQ4R, vocabulary notes to anchor new words in your memory, and a host of new readings (related to current topics such as the marketing of robot day care, the looming threat of drought, and the rise of social media Influencers) are all included in this edition.

About the Author
After receiving her B.S. at Southern Connecticut State University, where she was certified as a teacher of secondary reading, Laraine Flemming went on to earn an M.A. in English literature at Boston College and a Ph.D. in American literature at the State University of New York in Buffalo. During her career, Flemming has taught students from elementary to graduate school covering subjects as varied as reading and writing, American literature, time management, speed reading, study skills and most recently, ESL writing and reading. Flemming's journey as a textbook author began while she served as the Director of the Reading and Writing Center at what was then Dean Junior College. Faced with the need for a reading textbook that combined numerous exercises with genuinely thought-provoking readings, Flemming decided to write her own.
