No More Boring Books! A Solution for Frustrated Reading Teachers
John
Brezinsky, Higher

Research shows that students become better readers when they understand
95% of the words in a text. Meeting this goal often results in boring
books. New Password's high-interest subjects provide an
engaging atmosphere in which to teach reading and vocabulary skills.
Teach Reading Skills, but Through Engaging Texts
As Linda Butler explains in the introduction to New Password, it is
very important for students to feel successful in their reading. They
can learn and apply new reading and vocabulary skills only if they
understand the words they encounter. Furthermore, using texts that they
will actually enjoy reading ensures that they do read and apply the
skills they learn.
Teach the Most Important Vocabulary Words
Another frustration for many teachers are books that don't
address the most important words for students to learn. New Password
takes students systematically through the words that make up 80% of all
texts (both academic and non-academic). This means that students can
study the new words with confidence — if they finish level 5,
they are ready to begin reading unadapted texts.

The new edition of the Password series expands it to 5 levels instead
of 3 and changes with students as they increase in proficiency. It
takes learners' needs into account and is a perfect step
towards academic preparation.
