Painless Series - All books in this series

Designed for use in middle school and high school classrooms, as well as at home, books in Barron’s Painless series transform subjects that are normally dreaded by many students into challenging fun activities. Painless books take light-hearted approaches to their subjects, while addressing topics that classroom texts never get to. Reading comprehension is a skill that all students must develop for academic and personal success, especially as they advance to college and beyond. This book—for junior and senior high school students—asks them meaningful questions about their reading preferences and difficulties. For example—
  • What kind of reader am I?
  • What can I do to “warm up” my brain before starting to read?
  • What can I do if I don’t understand what I’m reading?
  • How do I keep what I read in my head?
All students can profit from this book, but reluctant readers will find it especially helpful. Guided by the author, who is an experienced teacher, they learn how to read with ease, and to comprehend what they are reading. Most important, they discover how to transform a once-arduous task into a pleasurable experience.
