Laraine Flemming received her Bachelor of Science at Southern Connecticut State University, where she was certified as a teacher of secondary reading. She then went on to earn a Master of Arts in English literature at Boston College and a doctorate in American literature at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Throughout her career, Flemming has taught students ranging in age from elementary to graduate school, covering subjects as varied as reading and writing, American literature, time management, speed reading, study skills and most recently, English as a second language. She began writing textbooks while working as the director of the Reading and Writing Center at Dean Junior College. In need of a reading textbook that had abundant exercises combined with genuinely thought-provoking readings, Flemming decided to write her own.
