Introduction
Welcome to Unique—an English Reading and Vocabulary Program!
Unique was written especially for you. Raising communication skills to a higher, more fluent level is the overarching goal of the Unique series. To this end, each of the worktexts has been carefully designed to review and reinforce the fundamental skills and concepts that enhance reading comprehension and boost vocabulary development. There are four thematic books in the series: Science and Technology; Everyday Living; Workplace and Career; Media and Marketplace.
Pre-reading inspires student enthusiasm for new vocabulary and themes, as well as preparing them for the lessons.
Vocabulary lists the important words to acquire in each lesson. It is composed of both high-frequency and challenging vocabulary to enrich your word bank.
Reading includes high interest excerpts from real-world documents, forms, advertisements and how-to instructions, as well as academic sources (approximate reading level 4.0). Diagrams and other graphics support instruction and maintain interest.
Reading Comprehension not only offers activities to reinforce student reading skills, such as skimming and scanning, but also introduces referencing techniques essential to reading fluency. The series covers 16 basic grammar rules (in Everyday Living and Science and Technology) and 10 advanced rules (in Workplace and Career and Media and Marketplace).
Vocabulary Study provides a wide variety of different activities to help students understand and remember the spelling, meaning and form of unfamiliar words. Other strategies offered include the efficient referencing of a dictionary and thesaurus. Thinking skills, such as drawing conclusions and completing analogies, are included as reinforcement.
Different word power skills (spelling, understanding meaning, word form, writing and referencing) are strengthened via a wide variety of activities:
Review Lessons evaluate students’ acquisition of new vocabulary through various activities, such as puzzles and analogies. They also encourage students to apply newly acquired vocabulary by writing their own sentences.
Grammar appendix illustrates essential rules of grammar that supplement the Syntax exercise in Reading Comprehension.
Glossary lists some important scientific and technical words that all educated
people should know.
A word of advice: Don’t stop “reading and thinking of words” when you finish this program. First-class English skills must be constantly renewed! In order to earn a reputation as a first-rate communicator, you must incorporate everything you have learned into your everyday speech and writing.
