No More Boring Books! A Solution for Frustrated Reading Teachers
Research shows that students become better readers when they understand 95% of the words in a text. Meeting this goal often results in boring books. New Password‘s high-interest subjects provide an engaging atmosphere in which to teach reading and vocabulary skills.
Teach Reading Skills, but Through Engaging Texts
As Linda Butler explains in the introduction to New Password, it is
very important for students to feel successful in their reading. They
can learn and apply new reading and vocabulary skills only if they
understand the words they encounter. …
Furthermore, using texts that they will actually enjoy reading ensures that they do read and apply the skills they learn.
Teach the Most Important Vocabulary Words
Another frustration for many teachers are books that don’t
address the most important words for students to learn. New Password takes students systematically through the words that make up 80% of all texts (both academic and non-academic). This means that students can study the new words with confidence if they finish level 5, they are ready to begin reading unadapted texts.
