For students and workers, the stories and activities in the Workplace Reader provide a unique opportunity to practice reading skills such as locating, combining, comparing and contrasting, integrating, explaining, and evaluating information. These skills are transferable and used by workers in many occupations.

Reading at Work will enable instructors and trainers from the fields of adult/workplace education, literacy, and employment counseling, to focus on the information processing structure and strategies that lead to increased learner success and worker competency.
