Good

For international students this is a very good book! You can learn many things from this book.

Comprehension for all

The book utilizes various strategies to assist students with reading comprehension. The examples are easy to understand and they allow for students to develop and test concepts taught. The book has been extremely helpful for students with disabilities who struggle with reading comprehension. If one approach does not work there was always another approach provided by the author. I've used several strategies to assist a student with comprehending classroom material and preparing for state exams.

A Good Reading Textbook

I find this book fantastic. It will help students learn how to read passages, charts, cartoons or ads. It has five chapters and on page 1 to 11 there is a pre-test. The test will show students on what chapter they should focus. Besides, there is a post-test at the last part of this book. Students can evaluate their work and will know what to review. "Main Idea and Details","Summarizing and Paraphrasing","Making Inferences" or "Predicting" are included in some chapters. By using this textbook, students will acquire critical reading and thinking skills. I am going to use this book as a textbook for my English class.
