Recorded Readings from Textbook
Below you will find several readings that correspond to different chapters in Schmitt & Schmitt's (2005) vocabulary textbook Focus on Vocabulary: Mastering the Academic Word List. Research indicates that listening and following along with text to recorded readings enhances student reading fluency. Also, by varying instructional techniques with the textbook (e.g. readings together, reading individually, listening, etc.), students are more likely to be engaged in the reading process. Enjoy!
