National Geographic Learning presents the NEW Edition of ACTIVE Skills for Reading!
“
The Third Edition of ACTIVE Skills for Reading offers more opportunities for readers to improve their reading skills. The six principles of the ACTIVE framework continue to direct the series. These six principles are more important today than at any other time in teaching learners to be strong readers. I continue to believe that if we can help learners become stronger readers that they will make improvements in all areas of language acquisition. — Neil J Anderson
