What is Reading Success, Second Edition
- Series & Levels: It’s a six-book reading series aimed at young English language learners (elementary to intermediate levels).
- CEFR Levels: Mostly ranges from A2 up to B1 across the books.
- Objective: To help learners develop reading fluency via texts written in natural English, gradually moving from simpler to more complex materials.
Structure & Contents
Each book in the series typically includes:
- Reading passages of various types: stories, letters, diaries, dialogues, advertisements, speeches, graphs/charts.
- Full-color illustrations and photographs to support comprehension and engagement.
- Carefully controlled vocabulary and grammar appropriate to the level, so students can read “comfortably” while still being challenged.
- Comprehension & vocabulary exercises: after each passage to check understanding and reinforce learning.
- Model summary passages: which allow students to practice summarizing, using key vocabulary and writing.
- Audio recordings (CD or MP3) of the reading passages. This supports listening comprehension and modeling of pronunciation etc.
Progression & Format
- The six books increase in difficulty: longer texts, more complex vocabulary/grammar as one advances.
- Page count & physical format: e.g. Book 1 has ~84 pages; many have similar length in that range.
- Each lesson/unit includes multiple components: reading, vocabulary, comprehension, summary.

Who is suitable for “Reading Success Second Edition”?
Reading Success Second Edition is suitable for:
- Young learners and teenagers who already have some foundation in English and want to improve their reading fluency.
- Elementary to lower-intermediate students (CEFR A2–B1) – the series starts from easier passages and builds toward more complex texts.
- Students preparing for skills-based learning (reading comprehension, vocabulary expansion, summarizing) rather than just grammar drills.
- Learners who need exposure to different text types such as stories, letters, advertisements, and informational passages.
- Classroom use – teachers can use it as a supplementary reading course alongside a main textbook.
- Independent learners – thanks to its controlled vocabulary, comprehension exercises, and audio recordings, it works well for self-study.
In short: It’s best for learners aged around 10+ years old (upper elementary to secondary) who want to strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, and overall confidence in English.

The benefits of “Reading Success Second Edition”
Gradual Skill Progression
- The series has six books, progressing from CEFR A2 up to B1. This lets learners steadily build their reading fluency and comprehension without big jumps in difficulty.
- Controlled grammar and vocabulary levels ensure that each stage reinforces earlier learning while introducing new material.
Variety of Text Types & Realistic Contexts
- Passages include a mix of stories, letters, dialogues, informational texts, etc., which helps students get used to different styles of English writing.
- Because texts reflect more natural / real-life usage, learners can better transfer reading skills to everyday reading (books, websites, emails, etc.).
Support for Fluency & Comprehension
- Frequent reading passages help students improve speed, familiarity, and understanding of various structures.
- Comprehension questions and tasks after each text help ensure understanding, not just decoding.

Learner Motivation & Engagement
- Full-color illustrations (where included) and interesting, varied topics make reading more engaging.
- The sense of progression across levels (from easier to harder) can motivate learners as they see their own improvement.
Useful for Classroom + Self-Study
- The structure (read + comprehension + vocabulary + summary tasks) means it can be used by teachers in class, or by students working on their own.
- Audio support (if available) aids self-study, helping with pronunciation, listening, and reinforcing reading.
Clear Leveling & Planning Aid
- Because of its alignment with CEFR levels, teachers or programs can plan which book(s) to use depending on learners’ current level and goals.
- Its format helps identify which skills need more focus (e.g. reading speed, vocabulary) through the exercises.
Building Summary & Higher-Order Skills
- Some tasks in the series involve summarizing or reflecting on texts, not just answering comprehension questions. This builds analytical and synthesis skills.
- Learners are encouraged to think critically about what they read, not just understanding the literal meaning.

Effective learning strategies for “Reading Success Second Edition”
1. Pre-reading Strategies
- Preview the text: Look at titles, pictures, and keywords before reading. Predict what the passage will be about.
- Activate prior knowledge: Think about what you already know about the topic. This helps connect new information to existing knowledge.
2. During Reading
- Skim first, then read in detail: Skim for general ideas, then reread carefully for details.
- Highlight or underline keywords: Focus on main ideas and important vocabulary.
- Annotate in the margins: Write short notes or questions while reading to stay engaged.
- Listen + Read together: Use the audio recordings to read along, improving fluency and pronunciation.
3. Post-reading Practice
- Comprehension questions: Answer without looking back at the text first → check memory and understanding.
- Retelling: Summarize the passage orally or in writing. This reinforces vocabulary and structure.
- Vocabulary notebook: Collect new words, write sample sentences, and review regularly.

4. Integrated Skills
- Shadow reading: Play the audio and speak along to improve rhythm and fluency.
- Role-play dialogues (if in the passage): Helps link reading with speaking skills.
- Graphic organizers: Use charts, story maps, or timelines to visualize the information.
5. Long-term Habits
- Regular reading schedule: Read a passage every day or a few times per week for consistent practice.
- Set reading goals: e.g. finish one passage per week, learn 10 new words, or reduce reading time gradually.
- Recycling: Revisit earlier passages after a few weeks to reinforce memory and notice new details.
- Pair or group discussion: Share answers and summaries with classmates to deepen understanding.
In short: The most effective approach is Preview → Read → Practice → Review → Reuse. This cycle ensures vocabulary retention, fluency growth, and stronger comprehension.
