Scholastic, 2002. — 96 p. — (Real-Life Workbooks). — ISBN10: 0439237769; ISBN13: 978-0439237765.Real Life Reading is designed to help young adults develop and apply basic reading skills to their everyday encounters with the written word. These encounters cover a wide range: from reading road signs, bus schedules, and classified ads, to reading and understanding instructions for taking a test, using a checking account, and filling out a job application. The lessons will be of particular value to ESL students, as well as to native English speakers who need intensive practice in close-reading skills.
