Readers will be equipped with the ability to answer comprehension questions more quickly and correctly, and thus be prepared for the upcoming comprehensive assessment program for junior high school students.

Key Features

Ready for Reading Success is an incomparable tool for readers because of the features below.

1.Appropriately graded difficulty
Readers can choose which book to read based on their English level because the language in each book has been graded by its difficulty. The difficulty levels are distinguished by the length of each text, the number of high-level words used, the complexity of the grammar, and the maximum sentence length.

2.Interdisciplinary topics related to everyday life

The topics in each book include teenage life, family, entertainment, environment, health, festivals, culture, animals, literature, travel, etc. This diversity enables readers to use English as a key to explore knowledge and enrich their lives.

3.Various formats of texts
The texts in each book are written in formats that are seen in real life, such as passages, poems, dialogues, advertisements, brochures, news clips, columns and so on, with an eye toward building reading ability that can be useful in everyday life.

4.MP3 audios recorded by professional native speakers
Each text in the book is recorded by native speakers that demonstrate correct pronunciation. The audios can also help boost readers’ listening ability.

Structure of the Book

1Reading Skills help you practice some necessary skills for understanding what a text is about. This unit covers:

1)Subject Matter / Main Idea
Subject matter can be understood as what the article is about. On the other hand, the main idea is the key message the text conveys. It can be understood as the point the author is trying to make. Normally, both concepts should be grasped after the first few lines of reading.

2)Supporting Details / Cause and Effect
Supporting details are the bricks that build the house of a text. They provide clues for you to understand the main idea. These can be facts, descriptions, comparisons, examples, or anything else.
Cause and effect are two aspects of an event. The cause is why something happened, while the effect is what happened. Phrases like because of and as a result of can tell you the cause, while phrases like as a result (without of), resulting in, and so are used to show effects.

3)Fact or Opinion / Making Inferences
Facts are things that can be verified by other sources. Opinions are how someone feels about something. For example, “World War II ended in 1945” is a fact, but “I hate war” is an opinion.
Inference is using something you know to guess something you don’t know. You get to infer the meaning of a text by the information provided.

2Word Study helps you practice skills to build your vocabulary and understand new vocabulary in a text. This unit covers:

1)Synonyms / Antonyms
Sometimes, two words can mean the same thing. In this case, these words are synonyms. If two words have opposite meanings, then they are antonyms. Good and brilliant , for instance, are synonyms, but good and bad are antonyms. Learning these words will improve your vocabulary and thereby improve your reading and writing ability.

2)Words in Context
You can stare at a word for days and not figure out what it means. However, if you look at the words around it, you’ll have the answer in no time. The context of a word can teach you its meaning. Try it out yourself. Read this paragraph again, and try to guess what context means.

3Study Strategies help you use different parts of a text to gather information. Visual material and reference sources are two of these parts. Take a look, and you’ll learn more than you thought you could. This unit covers:

1)Visual Material
Visual materials are your helpers. They translate complex information into simple tables, graphs, charts, and maps. To understand these materials, read the titles carefully and check the legends. Once you understand the layout, you can read and understand the information itself.

2)Reference Sources
Dictionaries and indexes are two kinds of reference sources. Learning to use them helps you trace your target information and can improve your overall comprehension of what you are reading.

4Final Reviews help you review what you have learned. From these comprehensive questions, you can examine how well you have absorbed the ideas and material in this book.
