High-interest readings from a variety of genres have been chosen to engage students in critical thinking. Each chapter is organized around a single topic and contains two or three readings. Journal questions, pre-reading activities, and comprehension and vocabulary activities accompany each reading. The Reading-Writing Workshop features strategies that successful students use in reading and writing assignments. For example, students are taught to annotate what they read.
