Reading for Results: Additional Materials

Long experience tells me that no one single reading text ever has quite enough exercises. For that reason, I have included on this web site additional exercises and activities that can be used to follow up on the skills and concepts introduced in Reading for Results (10^th ed.).

The 11^th edition of Reading for Results has a different table of contents, but all of the skills taught here are also part of the latest edition.

Instructors looking for more basic or more advanced materials should also check the exercises for Reading Keys (basic) and Reading for Thinking (advanced) available on this web site.

Answer keys for the downloadable materials provided below are available in the manual for the 11^th edition.

Best,
Laraine Flemming
