The factor that most influenced the adoption of this textbook was the holistic approach to reading vs. a skills-based approach. I like the way the book is organized. Students are able to find concepts and support. We like using this textbook."The visual appeal is one of the strengths of this textbook. The students in the photographs are very diverse and representative of my students."We plan to continue using this text. I think it is the most interesting text for developmental readers, offering thoughtful and challenging readings and more than adequate exercises that require literal, inferential, and critical thinking. Students must go beyond multiple choice.
