Q: Skills for Success: 4 Reading and Writing

Q Skills for Success encourages students to think critically and succeed academically. Q's question-centred approach provides a unique critical thinking framework for each unit. This develops key cognitive skills such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating-as well as developing the language skills essential for academic success. Learning outcomes are clearly stated at the start and end of the units, with competency self-evaluations and vocabulary check lists featuring the Academic Word List. This enables teachers to define learning outcomes effectively to accreditation bodies.

Q: Skills for Success is a six-level series with two strands, Reading and Writing and Listening and Speaking. The series provides students with:

• Clearly identifed learning outcomes that focus students on the goal of instruction
• Thought-provoking unit questions that provide a critical thinking framework for each unit
• Explicit skills instruction that builds student's language profciency
• All new content and practice activities for every unit, approximately 20 hours of practice per strand, with Q Online Practice.
