505 _a"Basic Reading Power 1 is unlike most other reading textbooks. First, the book is organized in a different way. It has four separate parts that correspond to four important aspects of proficient reading, and therefore it is like four books in one. Teachers should assign work on all four parts of the book concurrently.
505 _aThe four parts of Basic Reading Power 1 are:
_tPart 1: Extensive Reading
_tPart 2: Vocabulary Building
_tPart 3: Comprehension Skills
_tPart 4: Thinking Skills
505 _aSecond, the focus of Basic Reading Power 1 is different. While most books focus on content, this book directs students’ attention to their own reading processes. The aim is for the students to develop a strategic approach to reading at this early stage, so that they learn to view reading in English as a problem-solving activity rather than a translation exercise. This will enable them to acquire good reading habits and skills, and to build confidence in their abilities, and thus help them gain access more quickly to English-language material for study, work, or pleasure.
505 _aFor a successful outcome, teachers should follow the indications for work in pairs or small groups. Talking about their work will help students formulate ideas and consolidate vocabulary learning.
505 _aBasic Reading Power 1 is intended for students who are in a beginning-level English program. It is assumed that students who use this book will be literate and have an English vocabulary of about 300 words. They should be familiar with the simple present, present continuous, simple past, and future tenses.
505 _aIn this third edition of Basic Reading Power 1, the approach remains the same as in the earlier editions, though in response to recent research as well as feedback from teachers, there is more emphasis on vocabulary acquisition and learning strategies. All units have been updated and more guidance has been added for students in learning the skills." (Book Cover)
