The Active Reader 5

The Active Reader series is based on the premise that fluent readers actively engage with the text, using a variety of strategies. Each workbook provides ten carefully levelled reading passages relating to five popular themes: people, relationships, health and safety, environment, and history.
Topics include activists Jane Goodall and the Dalai Lama, bullying, women in gangs, insomnia, anxiety, making a difference through tree planting and community gardens, and truth and reconciliation (residential schools and the Japanese Canadians in World War II).
