The "Four Point" series is designed for English language learners
whose primary goal is to succeed in an academic setting.""The
series covers the four academic skills of reading, writing,
listening, and speaking while providing reinforcement and
systematic recycling of key vocabulary and further exposure to
grammar issues. In order to participate in academic settings, ELLs
need focused activities to develop and then maintain their use of
vocabulary and grammar. Each book in the series focuses heavily on
vocabulary in particular, highlighting between 125-150 key
vocabulary items including individual words, compound words,
phrasal verbs, short phrases, idioms, metaphors, collocations, and
longer set lexical phrases. Each unit in "Reading-Writing 1,
"includes two reading passages on the same topic within a field of
academic study: Psychology, World Civilizations, Astronomy,
Literature, Civil Engineering, and Political Science. Each reading
is accompanied by a before reading, during reading, and after
reading strategy and practice activity. The goal is to provide
students with a variety of strategies/tools to master whatever
academic texts they may encounter. In addition, exercises have been
designed to develop vocabulary, paraphrasing, summarizing, and
synthesizing skills. By addressing the breadth and depth of reading
and writing tasks required in academic settings instead of only
reading for pleasure or writing for research projects, this volume
truly prepares students for the variety of reading texts and
writing projects they will be assigned in colleges and
universities.Interactive vocabulary activities are available on the
book's companion website.
