National Geographic Learning presents the NEW Edition of ACTIVE Skills for Reading!



The Third Edition of ACTIVE Skills for Reading offers more opportunities for readers to improve their reading skills. The six principles of the ACTIVE framework continue to direct the series. These six principles are more important today than at any other time in teaching learners to be strong readers. I continue to believe that if we can help learners become stronger readers that they will make improvements in all areas of language acquisition.
— Neil J Anderson

The new, Third Edition of ACTIVE Skills for Reading maintains the ACTIVE approach, developed by reading specialist
Professor Neil J Anderson, defined on this page. The following enhancements to this new edition encourage learners to become more confident, independent, and ACTIVE readers:
Each chapter contains a “Motivational Tip” box with
Neil Anderson’s advice on increasing student motivation.
New reading passages cover contemporary topics and a variety of text types, including articles, journals, blogs, and interviews. In the higher levels of this new edition, readings are based on authentic content from National Geographic.
A full-color design presents the series’ content in an attractive and accessible format.
A revised Assessment CD-ROM with ExamView® Pro reflects the needs of learners preparing for standardized tests.

    Theodore Roosevelt, who was perhaps the most Progressive president of all, was considered so due to his belief that the president is “the steward of public welfare” (Foner 706). This means that Roosevelt believed that the president was responsible for the overall well-being of the public—of American citizens. He did so by supporting a government regulation of the economy, which would help prevent our country being overrun by large corporations.

    Windsor seemed a kind of purgatory to me, a temporary stop between whatever hell my parents had left behind in Italy and the vague promise of the skyline that opened up beyond the Detroit River. In winter that skyline's tall buildings stood unnaturally still and crisp in the cold air, on the verge, it seemed, of singing; in summer they shimmered and burned in the heat and smog. But always they had a strange, unreal quality, at once both toy-like and profound, as if my eyes could not believe their own power to hold so much in a glance.…
