Hi Melissa, I am a huge fan of Jane McGrath's series with Prentice Hall. The book at the level you are interested in would be "Basic Strategies for College Reading." I like the series because it contains sound instructional material that follows the most current research and because all of the texts include authentic material and corresponding essays and articles. I feel this material most closely replicates the types of reading and thinking that students are required to do in their classes and promotes transfer better than strict skills texts. Arden B.
