OverviewMore Reading Power 3 is enhanced by research-based methods and activities for learning vocabulary. Longer reading passages and new study-reading activities, including outlining and text marking, prepare students to enter the world of academic reading. More Reading Power's unique process methodology teaches students to view reading as a process.

More Reading Power delivers on that effective process approach with strategies and practice for strengthening comprehension skills, building vocabulary, increasing reading speed, and preparing for testing. At each level, students focus on four skill areas: Extensive Reading (Reading for Pleasure) lets students select their own reading materials to practice new strategies, build fluency, increase comprehension, and broaden their vocabulary. Vocabulary Building trains students in a variety of strategies for learning new words, from personalized vocabulary lists to noticing collocations. Reading Comprehension covers skimming, scanning, recognising topics and main ideas, understanding sentences, and making inferences. Critical Thinking Skills (upper levels) involves targeted practice in inferential and analytical skills. Reading Faster helps students develop speed and flexibility in reading with high-interest, short fiction and non-fiction selections.
