Ideal for low-level college-age readers, Practical Readings 1 has 18 units with a variety of short, realistic readings.

Practical Readings 1 features:

  • a wide range of text types:
    questionnaires, maps, tour itineraries, postcards, short descriptions
  • short texts which allow class time to be spent focusing on elements within the texts:
    markers, how words point to or echo other words, how words are dropped
  • practice in a wide variety of reading skills:
    skimming, scanning, reading for detail, inferencing
  • ample illustrations in full color

Using Practical Readings 1, your students will read advertisements, maps, tour itineraries and more - English of the type that they have to read outside of class.

You can help your students learn to read for gist and for specific information.

Further, the text gives students a lot of practice in inferencing and has a special focus on how words in texts connect with each other.

Finally, Practical Readings 1 includes many activities that further apply language from the readings. Students read the text, break it apart, and then read it again.
