Part One contains information on comprehension, vocabulary, reading speed, the content-area chapters, and suggestions for using the chapters. Part Two discusses differences in the two parts, vocabulary and comprehension. It also contains overviews of the study skills introduced and the book chapters, closing with an explanation on the method for teaching incorporated in the lessons.
