<br/><br/>"Bring the world to the classroom like never before through National Geographic topics, video, and visuals. New Reading Skill sections explicitly teach and practice one academic skill or strategy to enhance learners' reading comprehension. Expanded video sections featuring National Geographic video provide engaging opportunities for learners to synthesize information from multiple sources. The updated design blends text, charts, graphs and images, encouraging learners to develop visual literacy skills to improve comprehension. New eBooks and Online Workbooks with National Geographic video and activities allow learners greater flexibility for independent practice." (Book Jacket).
