Autor

After receiving her B.S. at Southern Connecticut State University, where she was certified as a teacher of secondary reading, Laraine Flemming went on to earn an M.A. in English literature at Boston College and a Ph.D. in American literature at the State University of New York in Buffalo. During her career, Flemming has taught students from elementary to graduate school covering subjects as varied as reading and writing, American literature, time management, speed reading, study skills and most recently, ESL writing and reading. Flemming's journey as a textbook author began while she served as the Director of the Reading and Writing Center at what was then Dean Junior College. Faced with the need for a reading textbook that combined numerous exercises with genuinely thought-provoking readings, Flemming decided to write her own.
