How to Use This Book
How to use this page
Students often don’t know how to read or use textbooks. For example, they might be inclined to focus on the main text and ignore features like this shaded textbox, which might provide useful guidance for understanding the chapter. Include a “How to Use This Book” section in the front matter to help students understand the purposes of and use the helpful features you have included in your book.
- Update the Welcome! section, replacing the text below the heading (which welcomes readers to this book) with a brief introduction welcoming readers to your book.
- Update the Keep an Eye Out for These Features section, replacing the features represented below the heading (which provide examples of features of this book) with examples of the features included in your book.
- Delete this text box and the attribution text box at the bottom of the page.
Welcome!
