This book is part of a four-book series designed to provide students with systematic and rigorous guidance on how to understand and respond to texts that they read. Together, the four books cover all the objectives in the reading and comprehension elements of the English Language curriculum for secondary schools. Although the book was originally designed for the Singaporean curriculum, the topics and drills have been found to be helpful to students across different countries.
The book contains approximately 30 passages, with focused comprehension tasks that are preceded by the teaching of key comprehension skills. There are 19 main units, each focusing on a different skill or area, and four summative practice units and final review paper, all designed to prepare students for formal assessments.
Students preparing for university matriculation examinations will find the book an invaluable companion as they seek to tackle comprehension questions. The book can also prepare them for comprehension of learning content in the early years of university education.
