TRANSITION: Developing Reading Comprehension Skills and Knowledge in World History, Focusing on Early Civilizations and Geography

The textbook applies two evidence-based teaching frameworks. Its reading questions are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy’s six levels of objectives (remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating). The questions vary from basic to complex to help instructors create reading objectives and activities that emphasize higher-order thinking (levels 4–6). Furthermore, the book teaches learners how to apply the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review) reading framework or method to increase their reading comprehension skills and recall what they read.
