Problem Solving
and
Comprehension
This popular book shows students how to increase their power to analyze
problems and to 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. This feature permits students to
work without supervision, in or outside the classroom. As students work
through the book they will see a steady improvement in their analytical
thinking skills and become smarter, more effective, and more confident
problem solvers—on tests, in academic courses, and in any occupations as well
as personal relationships that involve analyzing, untangling, or comprehending
knotty ideas. Not only can using the TAPPS method assist students in achieving
higher scores on tests commonly used for college and job selection, it teaches
that problem solving can be fun and social, and that intelligence can be taught.
This book will change the way readers approach problem solving for the rest of
their lives.
