How can we overcome loneliness? Whose continent is Antarctica? How alike are identical twins? Intended for academically oriented ESL students, each book in this best-selling series encompasses fresh and timely topics in areas such as health, history, science, and technology. The levels require students to not only read a text, but extract information from charts, graphs, illustrations, and photographs. The exercises help students see relationships between sentences and paragraphs, etc. Additional activities offer games, puzzles, dictionary work, and quizzes. All books have answer keys in the back.

Audio components (CD or cassette) contain recordings of all readings.
