505 _a"Making Connections 2 is an intermediate academic reading and vocabulary skills book. It is intended for students who need to improve their strategic reading skills and build their academic vocabulary.
505 _aEach unit begins with an in-depth study of key skills and strategies for reading academic texts, helping students to learn how and when to use them.
505 _aStudents learn strategies for approaching academic texts and skills for consciously applying the strategies.
505 _aPredicting the content of a text is critical for reading college books, and students practice this skill extensively before beginning each reading.
505 _aEach unit contains 4 readings, providing students with multiple opportunities to practice applying the skills and strategies.
505 _aStudents learn how to use the skills and strategies by applying them to each text while they read it.
505 _aStudents continually review the skills and strategies, helping them build up a valuable set of tools for reading academic texts.
505 _aStudents expand their vocabularies by studying key words from each reading and academic words from each unit.
505 _aEach unit develops students' higher level thinking skills, such as agreeing and disagreeing with a writer and synthesizing information.
505 _aStudents also learn to read more quickly, a valuable skill for extended academic texts.
505 _aThe units end with a study of academic connectors, helping students learn how to navigate dense academic text." (Introduction, p. vii-ix)
