505 _a"The purpose of this book is to help students learn to write and read fluently in English. This means that they will learn to read extensively with good comprehension, and to write comprehensible, complete and logical pieces with comfort and control. Achieving Fluency can be used over one semester or two. I wrote it with college ESL students in mind, but it can also be used with any basic writers, including native speakers of English, high school, middle school and adult education students. Anyone who has not yet developed fluency in writing and/or reading, and therefore is finding academic reading and writing difficult, will benefit from the approach and activities herein. The book is not for beginning ESL students." (Preface to the Teacher, p. vii)
