Essentials of Reading is a series of six books that begins with a text for nonreading adults, by introducing the alphabet and numbers. With the successful completion of the posttest in Book 6, students should be able to read at the sixth grade level. All six books have been designed as stand-alone texts. Each text concludes with a posttest used to determine if students are ready for the next level.
