About the Book
The highly successful Easy Reader series is based on the distinctive
approach that the best way to build language skills is to start reading
it. Suitable for beginners to intermediate-level learners, this book
features engaging readings of progressive difficulty that allow readers
to rapidly build comprehension. Review sections and comprehension
questions are integrated throughout the text to reinforce what is
learned through the readings.
This book, divided into three parts, begins with a series of stories
about an Arab-American as he takes a tour of the Middle East as a
graduation present. In the second part, readers are introduced to key
figures of Arab History, from Saladin, who fought the Crusades, to Said
Ouita, the Moroccan Olympic runner. Finally, learners encounter adapted
stories from tradition sources like the 1001 Arabian Nights, with a
humorous modern slant.
Complementing this bestselling series is an online component that
provides a tremendous new dimension for beginning learners. A
free-access website provides recordings of many of the readings
contained in the book - providing learners with a perfect way to
recognize unknown words and improve their pronunciation.
