This reading textbook is a comprehensive, engaging ESL/ELL curriculum that builds learners' vocabulary, reading comprehension, and metacognitive skills. It includes 7 chapters, 14 engaging reading lessons, one practice test, and answer keys. The lessons help learners develop vocabulary and reading skills while exploring topics such as employment, job performance and training, emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, smart financial decisions, community resources, health care, education in the U.S., government and civic responsibilities. This textbook also provides students with opportunities to practice their writing skills.
More importantly, each lesson follows pre-, during-, and post-reading frameworks to provide learners with well-sequenced activities that support comprehension and access to relevant content. With this reading textbook, you can also leverage Bloom's Taxonomy's six levels of objectives and competencies (remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating) to enhance your teaching methods.
Each lesson equips you and your learners with strategies and exercises that focus on comparison, missing information, context clues, antonyms, and vocabulary in context. Additionally, the lessons develop and reinforce learners' reading skills by focusing on main ideas, specific details, inferences, cause and effect, comparison, summary, dictation, application of knowledge, and authors' point of view.
Finally, this textbook isn't just about reading-it's about equipping your students with the academic and life skills they need to thrive. As your students progress through the book, they'll gain valuable insights and skills to navigate the complexities of community life, family responsibilities, and the workplace. In doing so, you'll be preparing your learners for standardized exams and real-world challenges.
