Reader It includes 10 texts (both fact and fiction) that will expand on the Activity Book’s topics and real-life situations so students get further practice. Specifically, the texts: • Promote reading through appropriate material for students’ age and interests; • Present models to review social practices of the language; • Practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills; • Develop reading skills; • Stimulate creativity and imagination; • Provide new vocabulary words; • Foster research skills. After each text, you will find some activities through which students can develop and somehow test their reading skills.

In order to help students with their tech development in English, this section introduces an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) box with a link to a text, video, activity, or other multimedia or interactive materials that will help students not only develop their ICT skills and practice English, but also reflect upon the unit’s topic or a related topic.

We never found out where the cats really lived, but Brownie the kitten always came to visit us when Maggie wasn’t out in the garden. A few months later, I even woke up one night because I had a furry little visitor at my bedroom window.
Even though he couldn’t say it, I knew that he was thankful that we got him out of that hole.
