A Good Read 3: Developing Strategies for Effective Reading

A Good Read is a three-level reading strategies course, intended for young adult and adult learners. The series promotes fluent and effective reading through high interest texts, extensive coverage of reading strategies, and an explicit focus on lexical development. Co-authored by Carlos Islam, English Language Coordinator at the United Nations in New York, A Good Read uses texts based on universal human experiences including themes such as friendship, finding love, happiness, urban legends, adventures and life changing events. Each unit introduces a Reading Strategy which is practiced in the Strategy in Focus section. Three Readings follow with extended practice of the strategy as well as a focus on lexical development in Word Work exercises. A Reflection activity at the end of the final reading encourages students to think about what they have learned.Islam is the author of 'A Good Read 3: Developing Strategies for Effective Reading', published 2009 under ISBN 9781424004287 and ISBN 1424004284.
