Reading Challenge is a non-fiction reading series designed for high-beginner and intermediate EFL learners. Readings selected for the series present a wide range of topics dealing with interesting or unusual facts and current events. Vocabulary and grammatical structures have been carefully controlled and graduated over the three levels of the series to allow students a comfortable progression from easily accessible readings to more challenging readings. Exercises in the series have been designed to practice reading and comprehension skills useful for students interested in test-taking strategies. Reading Challenge is suitable for both classroom use and self-study, although students in the classroom will benefit from the additional activities presented in each unit focused on developing speaking, listening, and writing skills.
