Abstract
Many students fail to transition successfully from reading textbooks to reading journal articles.
Students come with gaps in preparation at multiple levels.
Students' ability to do upper-level reading can be improved by using a variety of methods to help them see structure in words, sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles, and publications.
