SUMMARY:
“Reading Connections is a two-book series that teaches students the reading, vocabulary and critical thinking skills essential for becoming effective readers.
Each unit features thematically-grouped authentic readings accompanied by extensive reading strategy instruction, designed to build a core set of reading skills.
Students are introduced to reading for real-life purposes through challenging unit tasks. These require them to read purposefully in order to gather and synthesize relevant information from texts with each unit and to draw well-reasoned conclusions, presented in a variety of formats.” – Back cover
