The Challenges textbook series helps students become better readers
through explicit teaching of reading skills and strategies that
will break counter-productive habits, such as word-for-word
translation. Vocabulary is a major focus of the series as well
because good readers know a lot of words. Challenges 3 (the
low-advanced to advanced level) has six units with two chapters in
each. Each unit begins with an introduction to the topic-generally
a one-page activity to activate students\u2019 interest and
background knowledge. To help prepare advanced students for
authentic college content, each reading is introduced by a
discussion of its genre, so students will encounter 12 different
genres (e.g., book review, scientific essay, persuasive essay,
biography, promotional writing). Each unit also features a special
focus on one academic skill-for example, outlining and
summarizing-to provide students with additional practice in areas
that will be useful in college/university courses. Like Books 1 and
2, study tips are presented as well (e.g., using search engines and
research databases, communicating with instructors/professors). The
book also includes timed/paced readings, which are important to
developing reading fluency.
