Making Connections Level 2 Student's Book [Student's Book]

Making Connections teaches an extensive range of reading skills and strategies in order to prepare students for college reading. The series takes students from a low-intermediate to a low-advanced level of academic reading skill proficiency. The series contains a strong focus on vocabulary-building, including teaching words from the Academic Word List.

The series has a unique unit structure. At the outset of each unit, students are presented with and practice key reading and vocabulary-building skills. As students read the texts following these sections, they apply these skills by completing exercises in boxes in the margins of the readings, so that students literally have to apply the newly-learned skills 'while reading.'
