Develop your reading skills 1 - a workbook for students of English language in secondary schools

Abstract

This workbook provides practice in English reading comprehension skills needed for national language examinations as well as for school assessment. It is designed particularly for those preparing to take examinations associated with the end of secondary education. The comprehension texts have been selected to provide a range of text types that a language user at this level should be able to read and understand. The types of questions provide a range of practice covering not only those most commonly set in examinations but also others. They test your ability to understand a text as a whole, as well as the vocabulary, grammar, sentence and paragraph structure that contribute to understanding a stretch of writing.
