"Reading Power 2 follows on from the successful student-centered reading skills textbook Reading Power. Its unique structure, featuring four parts to be used concurrently, allows low-intermediate-level students (with a 600-word vocabulary) to develop the multiple skills and strategies involved in the reading process.

Overview

Extensive Reading helps students to build reading fluency, broaden knowledge of vocabulary and collocation, and gain confidence.

VocabularyBuilding offers strategies for independent vocabulary learning such as dictionary work, guessing meaning from context, and learning how words work in sentences.

Comprehension Skills teaches reading skills such as recognizing words and phrases, scanning for information, and making inferences.

Reading Faster builds awareness of reading speed, provides strategies and exercises for increasing speed, and offers charts for tracking progress.

New to the Fourth Edition
