Read On 2 (CD)


The entertaining reading series for beginning-level ESL students that uses short, believe-it-or-not, real-life stories to stimulate vocabulary acquisition and build reading comprehension.

Read On is a new reading series designed for beginning and high-beginning level ESL students. Each book in the series features 20 short, stimulating reading passages on high-interest topics such as a hotel that's 21 feet below the ocean, a woman who lived in a tree, how twin brothers fell in love with twin sisters, and blind people who use seeing-eye horses.

Each reading contains vital, high-frequency vocabulary that is recycled throughout the chapters in each book. This gives students a chance to see new vocabulary a number of times and in a variety of contexts. Teachers and students will also enjoy the self-standing format of the series. They can either select chapters according to need and interest or systematically work through each book.

  • Audio recordings of each reading selection provide students with listening practice to increase their comprehension skills.
  • Key vocabulary items appear in bold-faced type for easy reference.
  • Main idea questions presented in standardized testing formats help students check their reading comprehension as well as prepare them for success in taking standardized tests.
