Synopsis

North American short stories enhance pre-intermediate students' reading skills, language learning, and enjoyment of literature. Discovering Fiction, An Introduction, has the same unit and chapter structure as the two higher level books, Discovering Fiction Level 1 and Level 2. There are four units, each containing three stories that are related in terms of their theme; extensive prereading and post-reading tasks accompany each story. Unlike the other two books, however, an audio CD containing a reading of each story is packaged into each Student's Book.
