From “To the student”
Reading Essentials for Biology is designed to help you read, learn, and understand biology. Biology content is presented by sections in a total of 39 chapters. Each section is divided into Before You Read, Read to Learn, and After You Read.
Before You Read helps you organize your thoughts by drawing from prior knowledge, asking questions about information you would like to better understand, or finding clues in the text about the topics that will be covered.
In Read to Learn, the text focuses on key biology concepts. Key terms are reinforced and redefined. Read to Learn contains margin features to help you understand, organize, and reinforce new information. As you read, a at the end of a paragraph provides a visual clue for answering the Reading Check question in the margin.
After You Read presents a Mini Glossary featuring the key terms from the section and an activity using the terms. Additional activities help you organize, summarize, and analyze the content in the Read to Learn section.
