Reading Comprehension (English in Context)

The worktexts are appropriate for use with small groups, a full class, or by independent learners. The self-explanatory nature of the lessons frees the teacher for individual mentoring. Students from middle school through adult classes will appreciate the variety of contextual themes, which include humor, amazing facts, historical highlights, and excerpts from real-world documents and forms, as well as high-interest material from academic content areas.
Both illustrations and graphic art are used to support the instruction and maintain interest. A variety of puzzles, riddles, and games are intended to sharpen critical thinking skills as they provide additional interest and amusement. A handy reference guide at the back of each worktext promotes the invaluable habit of “looking up” a verifying reference when usage is in doubt.
