- Reading
- Choose a small set of exercises at a time, varying word-level practice with comprehension tasks; pause to discuss how an answer was reached.
- Themes
- Reading and language practice: The workbook lists practice in sound patterns, word meanings and forms, comprehension tasks, sentence parts and kinds of sentences. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Working with texts and information: The listed comprehension topics include recalling details, predicting, drawing conclusions, identifying a main idea and distinguishing fact from opinion. These topics are presented as reading skills to practise, not as a stated position on any particular subject.
- Worth knowing
- The range of skills is broad, but the activity sequence and amount of explanation for each topic are unclear; you may want to look through a few exercises together.
