Read 100 (Read & Learn, Book 3) [first edition]

Read 100 (Read and Learn, Book 3) gives your beginning level students an opportunity to do just that read and learn. The articles are in full color, full of varied, high interest material. That keeps students reading, and reading is a critical skill for anyone who needs to use language in everyday life. The 40 readings are brief and easy to read, with an average of 100 words per passage. For the launched beginner, they are accessible and comprehensible, using only 800 different words in Read 100. The passages are not just prose paragraphs. They include various forms of the written language that a learner needs to deal with - graphs, charts, timetables, receipts, emails, blogs, maps, posters, as well as journals, recipes, and bio-sketches. In short, the passages are a reflection of the reading that we all do every day. Each reading is followed by three exercises that, in effect, bring the reader back for another look at the reading. The first exercise asks the reader to use vocabulary from the reading in a different context to explore the meaning and usage of the word. The second exercise asks the reader to use basic reading skills to fully comprehend the passage. The third exercise focuses on a point of grammar that occurs in the reading. The series is at the 4th Grade reading level and is appropriate for learners from middle school to adult. To provide listening practice, an audio CD is available. All 40 readings are included.
