Learners Publishing Pte Ltd: 2005-2008, 1-132с., 2-134с., 3-147с., 4-147с.

Read and Understand is a series of four workbooks written for secondary or intermediate students who want to improve their reading comprehension skills. The 15 reading texts in each of the two lower-level books deal with social and contemporary issues of interest to teenagers. Each of the two upper-level books contains 20 reading passages covering a range of highly interesting topics written in different text types.

Every unit begins with three or four Pre-Reading Questions to encourage students to think about issues related to the topic. The questions are designed for students lo work in pairs or small groups to develop their ability to make predictions and to understand information by drawing on their own knowledge and experience.

The Vocabulary Study section makes it convenient for students to look up the meanings of words and phrases highlighted in the reading passage.

The varied exercises in each workbook provide not only written work for students to do individually, but also oral discussions to be done among themselves. Workbooks 1 and 2 cover the following types of exercises:
• Vocabulary Building - an essential tool to reading.
• Read and Understand provides comprehension questions in True/False and MCQ formats, as well as open-ended questions to test students' understanding of the passage.
• Pair Work allows students to discuss the questions with each other orally before writing down the answers.
• Spot the Error provides questions for students to revise their knowledge of grammar through sentence correction.
• Your View has questions that stimulate students to think and express their opinion on matters related to the topic of the unit.
Students will hear all the reading passages on an audio CD that accompanies each workbook.
