The four reading passages in each unit, as well as the exercises corresponding to that particular passage, are written at four different reading levels, with levels ranging from grades 6 to 10.

This reproducible activities kit emphasizes academic reading, writing and discussion skills. It has been devised to give students the chance to think, talk and write about real life topics. The book is structured in three units, each individual unit has four jigsaw parts, which are used first for reading and discussion and then, when they are thoroughly familiar to students, as examples for analysis and imitation in the process of improving writing skills. The book concentrates on realistic writing, not just exercises. There are drills and practice on specific language points, but only in preparation for much freer writing activities.
