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.
