Description

The first book in the two-titleRead to Succeedseries prepares students to read academic content at the high-beginning language level. The author-generated readings begin with topics of general interest—such as looking for a job—then move into pre-academic themes—such as how to study English. The scope and sequence of reading skills and strategies include inferential, interpretational, and critical comprehension questions and closely follow the grammar and vocabulary sequences in beginning ESL courses. Illustrations, recycled vocabulary, and an easy-to-follow format aid students' comprehension and help them gain confidence in reading. A complementary web site offers pronunciation practice with audio clips, vocabulary flash cards, grammar exercises, additional and timed readings, and ACE tests. Higher-level readings help high-beginning students prepare for academic work.
