Reading for Speed and Fluency 3 (2nd Edition)

Reading for Speed and Fluency 3 (2nd Editon)

Developing fluency should be an important part of any well-balanced language course of study. A good example is speed reading; that is, training in reading faster using very easy material - texts which contain no umfamiliar language features and deal with topics which are mostly familiar to the reader. The goal is to read as quickly as possible with a goog level of understanding.

With carefully leveled readings on familiar, high-interest topics, this series is the perfect tool to help readers read at afster pace and more fluently. Vocabulary previewing activities help reduce the number of new words that will slow down readers. Following each passage, simple questions quickly check the reader's comprehension of the main ideas. Expansion questions accompany each reading to extend the topic with speaking or writing. Each book in the series contains carefully leveled passages written with a controlled pool of vocabulary.

Main features:
- Thematically arranged reading passages to facilitate readers' comprehension of subsequent texts within each grouping,
- Strictly controlled vocabulary throughout the book to limit the slowing effect of unfamiliar words,
- Preview activities at the beginning of each chapter to promote faster reading of passages through pre-exposure to vocabulary found within the chapter,
- Questions following each passage that allow students to self-monitor their comprehension at accelerated reading speeds,
- Progress charts at the back of the book that allow students to graphically track the progress of their reading speed.
