5.0 out of 5 stars Empowering learners, June 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Reading Power (Paperback)
Reading Power is an excellent book for helping beginning to intermediate ESL learners build their reading skills. It covers a wide range of useful skills and techniques, so it has something for everyone. And it gives a multi-pronged approach, so learners can make relatively quick progress.
