Synopsis: Bad reading habits, not lack of intelligence, make many books difficult to read.  This book gives a step-by-step guide to eliminate these bad habits.  It can make almost anyone of average intelligence a better reader and learner. This book gives you tools to improve your: reading, writing, reasoning, and comprehension. While this work is difficult, I have made every effort to simply its contents.  Primarily, I have written this work for classroom use, with a teacher's help.  But I have also organized it for use in seminar discussions and personal study.
