Reading For Life by Corinne Fennessy
An "intermediate" level book and published in collaboration with Dorling Kindersley (DK) to combine the author's instruction with DK's high-interest visuals and design, Reading for Life puts reading in the context of real life to engage students in their learning. Reading for Life is shaped by two research-based assumptions: students are most engaged when the material is revelant to their lives and students are most successful when they are active learners. To support the first premise, author Corrine Fennessy brings a career topic into focus for each chapter and uses carefully chosen "real-world" reading selections so that students can start to think about possible careers, set goals, and recognize the relevance of reading to their everyday lives. For the latter principle, Fennessy engages students in activities-based learning in order to help students master key reading skills. Students learn by doing, not by reading extensively about how to do something. The end result is students' mastery of key reading skills and strategies while discovering connections among readings, themselves, and everyday life.| SKU | Unavailable |
