About This Textbook
This reader contains nine original stories written specifically for adults. Every chapter within the three units includes a level-appropriate, high-interest reading of between 350 and 500 words. This level 3 reader, one of a series of six readers, is roughly equivalent to grades 3 to 4.5 in the K-12 system. New vocabulary and word patterns are highlighted throughout each story and then summarized at the end.
For students using this program in a self-paced format, there are audio clips embedded throughout the course pack. These clips narrate the denser sections of text.
Font size and line spacing can be adjusted in the online view, and have been enhanced for the print and PDF versions for easier reading. This reader has been reviewed by subject experts from colleges and universities.
