Simplified English Title: NorthStar Reading and Writing 1 Student Book with Interactive Student Book and MyEnglishLab

The newly improved Reading & Writing strand now offers an Interactive Student Book powered by MyEnglishLab. This interactive platform allows students and teachers to better assess progress, with teachers now able to monitor student performance and personalize learning to increase student motivation. The five-level NorthStar series engages students through a seamless integration of compelling print and online content, empowering them to achieve their academic and personal goals and meet the challenges of the 21st century.

The Reading & Writing strands are designed to challenge students to move beyond basic comprehension to higher-level analysis. Current and thought-provoking readings from a variety of contrasting genres stimulate students intellectually, with the authentic content engaging them, linking them to language use outside the classroom, and encouraging personal expression and critical thinking.

Explicit language-skills development throughout each unit provides students with systematic and multiple exposures to language forms and structures in a variety of contexts. Concise presentations and targeted practice in print and online build students' language proficiency. Writing sections integrate the unit's concepts, vocabulary, and grammar, leading students through the writing process. Students learn revising techniques that help them move toward coherence and unity in their writing.

A variety of online assessments tied to learning outcomes allows teachers to individualize instruction and track student progress. Teacher Resources in MyEnglishLab include the scope and sequence, digital student book, downloadable achievement tests, classroom audio, audioscripts, video activities, videoscripts, teacher's manual, answer keys, and a downloadable placement test.
