Synopsis

Designed to help students become jazzed about reading, this introductory-to-intermediate reading text provides motivating and engaging readings selected to grab the reader's attention.

The theme of jazz emphasizes a positive, exciting, personally involved approach to reading and learning. - The instructor's supplements include an annotated instructor's edition; an instructor's manual containing teaching tips and test items; an instructor's CD-ROM; and a dedicated Online Learning Centre with additional activities, readings and exercises. - The opportunities for students to work online, in groups, or individually to hone their reading skills have been significantly expanded. Many reading selections now incorporate Internet reading and research. - Introductory exercises and chapter topic explanations have been expanded, helping students understand and master the concepts introduced in each chapter.
