Real Easy Reading Second Edition is part of a three-level series, designed to equip young learners of English with the necessary skills for the challenges of nonfiction reading. Students will enjoy reading through a range of interesting topics based around four central themes: nature, culture, places, and beliefs. Every passage is carefully graded and supported with questions and activities to reinforce understanding of words and concepts. An accompanying workbook provides additional reading comprehension and vocabulary practice.
Reading skills are tested through the use of reading passages with comprehension questions including understanding the main idea, selecting the correct details, filling in the blanks, and true/false questions. Writing skills (and additionally reading) are tested through vocabulary use and comprehension with various activities including error correction, identification and spelling of key words, matching words with the correct definition, and sentence completion. Listening and speaking are tested through pre-reading discussion, recorded passages, and a sentence completion speaking activity.
