Strategic Reading is a three-level series designed to develop reading,
vocabulary-building, and critical-thinking skills. The Student's Book contains
16 thematic units with a selection of engaging topics that motivate learners to
relate the reading to their own experiences. Three inviting reading passages in
each unit, all adapted from authentic sources, allow students to explore the
theme in depth. The original sources expose learners to a wide range of writing
styles. Preview pages in every unit introduce new vocabulary and ask
thought-provoking questions. There are also pre-reading activities that
stimulate students' interest in the unit theme. Vocabulary-building activities
improve students' ability to deal with unfamiliar words, and recycle key
vocabulary
