Beatrice S. Mikulecky/Linda Jeffries

BASIC READING POWER is a student-centered reading skills textbook with a process approach to reading improvement. Its innovative design allows beginning-level students (with a vocabulary below 300 words) to use four key sections concurrently to become better readers in school, college, or business.

Pleasure Reading encourages students to master new reading strategies and broaden their vocabularies by helping them select books appropriate to their level and enjoy them on their own.

Comprehension Skills emphasizes strategic reading skills, such as scanning, making inferences, recognizing topics, and understanding sentences.

Vocabulary Building offers strategies for learning new words, including personalized vocabulary lists, visual recognition of key words, using context cues, and expanding categories of words.
Thinking Skills provides targeted practice in inference and analytical skills.
BASIC READING POWER also includes a practical Teacher's Guide section and an Answer Key.
