The First Moves in Longman Academic Reading Book 1

Academic reading looks mysterious from outside and is mostly a handful of moves done in order. Longman Academic Reading Book 1 teaches the handful, one per chapter, at walking pace.

Topic Sentences, Found

Its earliest skill — find the sentence that carries the paragraph — is the key that unlocks skimming forever. Longman Academic Reading Book 1 drills that key until every student owns a copy.

Guessing from Context

Unknown words are met with a strategy, not a dictionary: read around, guess, check. Students of Longman Academic Reading Book 1 lose their fear of unknown vocabulary, which is half of all reading fear at any level.
