Paperback Edition: 7/2013
This popular book shows students how to increase their power to analyze problems and comprehend what they read using the Think Aloud Pair Problem Solving [TAPPS] method. First it outlines and illustrates the method that good problem solvers use in attacking complex ideas. Then it
provides practice in applying this method to a variety of comprehension and reasoning questions, presented in easy-to-follow steps.
