Flemmings READING FOR RESULTS, 14th EDITION, uses its trademark approach of carefully scaffolded, inventive exercises that take students step-by-step through the process of translating a writer words into meaning.

Using both academic readings and selections inspired by current events (from robot day care to social media stars), READING FOR RESULTS, 14th EDITION, has crafted explanations and exercises that are as specific and concrete as they are engaging. This edition features many new readings, updated writing assignments, new tests and tips to increase vocabulary, more about how to read writing meant for the web, more reading tips, and a brand new discussion of how academic writers go beyond the topic sentence to make their point.
