Reading is such an important skill to develop. I continue to be
amazed that many learners who have strong reading skills also
have strong listening, speaking, and writing skills. I am confident
that as you understand the ACTIVEpedagogical framework, you
will get ideas of ways that you can strengthen your students'
reading abilities. A textbook like ACTIVESkills for Reading cannot
possibly meet all of the needs of all learner groups around the
world. But, as a teacher who understands how to use this text,
you will be the greatest resource using the text and helping your
students reach higher levels of reading performance.
As I have worked with teachers in various parts of the world,
I have responded to several questions that have come up
multiple times. Let me respond to some of those questions here.
If you have additional questions, please contact your National
Geographic Leaming text representative and they can respond. If
they do not have the answers to your questions, they will know
how to reach me so that I can respond.
Best wishes as you use ACTIVESkills for Reading, 3rd edition!
