Working Towards Fluency!

Sounds Great graded readers are also effective on

Phonics

A message from the author, Anne Taylor:
“
When I was writing this series, I had a group of kindergarten students with whom I spent a
lot of time focusing on phonics. I could see they didn’t really know what it was all about, and
this series was written with those students in mind. Sounds Great is an easy-to-use series
designed to make phonics not only easier for children, but also for the teachers! I hope it
brings smiles to your students’ faces.

As an accompaniment to the student books,
each Sounds Great graded reader provides
additional practice to ensure students can
recognize and pronounce phonics correctly.
Each reader contains four stories related to
the content and skills developed throughout
the series.

enjoyment of reading, as well as cement the vocabulary and
knowledge they have learned.

A graded reading series must have a number of levels, in which
certain elements of the text become increasingly more difficult as
the levels progress.
Compass Readers are designed using both qualitative and
quantitative measures to ensure appropriate grading and leveling of
the readers.

What is Extensive Reading?

Quantitative Measures:

Extensive reading is fast, fluent reading of storybooks with high levels
of comprehension. The focus is on comprehension and enjoyment,
not language learning. The aim is to deepen learners’ confidence in
already-acquired language through exposure.
With extensive reading, learners choose books on their own at the
appropriate level. They can choose from large quantities of a
range of varied and appealing themes.

• Lexile range
• Headwords

Free Online Seminars

Visit: http://www.compasspub.com/english/teachers/seminars_list.asp

Compass Publishing is pleased to offer a list of free online seminars for streaming. It’s quick and easy to sign up to get access to
seminars on various topics, presented by some of our authors and other industry experts. Below is a short list of what is available.

Vocabulary and Content-Based Communication Activities
Paul Nation
This workshop shows teachers how to design and adapt contentbased communication tasks so that vocabulary learning can occur
while the learners engage in an interesting, communicative task.

Seminars

What are the Ten Most Effective Vocabulary Teaching
Activities?
Paul Nation
There are many activities that can be used to teach and learn
vocabulary, but they are not all equally effective. In this presentation,
Professor Paul Nation talks about the ten most effective vocabulary
teaching activities.

Testing and Assessing Writing
Jason Renshaw
This presentation focuses on different ways to test writing skills
across a range of age groups, and presents some practical and
reliable means of assessing writing performance. It also features a
useful technique for promoting grading reliability across multiple
teachers.

Using Classroom Discussions to Improve Speaking Ability
David Harrington
A good classroom discussion should be much more than “just
talking” about something. This presentation looks at the process of
discussion and how the format and structure can give students a

50

strong scaffolding to speak with clarity and confidence, and how
the principles of discussion can help students deal with fluidity
and role-taking.

Simple Strategies and Methods for Listening
Comprehension
Casey Malarcher
For both real-world communication and testing situations, EFL
learners need to develop their listening proficiency. This presentation
reviews a range of listening activities suitable for various levels,
from beginning to advanced EFL learners. In addition to explaining
the methods associated with each activity, various extension and
reinforcement activities are introduced.

Teaching Phonics Effectively
David Paul
This presentation introduces one possible phonic sequence and
uses this to illustrate key principles that can be applied to a wide
variety of approaches to teaching phonics. The presenter also
explains the importance of never losing sight of whole language
learning strategies even when teaching phonics in a very systematic
way. The key points in the presentation are illustrated through
games and interactive dialogue.

Many more seminars also available!

The TOEIC® and the TOEIC® Bridge
The Test of English for International Communications
(TOEIC®) measures the English listening and reading skills
of non-native speakers working in international
environments.
There are a total of 200 questions (100 questions each for
the Reading and Listening sections) on the TOEIC® test, and
the test lasts about two hours. Many corporations and
organizations require a TOEIC® score as part of an
application for employment or study.
TOEIC® Bridge, a shorter and easier version of the TOEIC®,
is aimed at elementary to intermediate learners. The test is
used primarily by test takers as an indication of areas for
improvement in their English level for work, travel, and
other purposes.

Very Easy TOEIC® focuses on the most important grammar
points for TOEIC®.
Taking the TOEIC® 1 2 gives pre-intermediate and
intermediate students the listening, grammar, and reading
skills to support their preparation for the test.
Starter TOEIC® focuses on the most important grammar
points for TOEIC® and includes higher-level passages and
listening exercises.
Developing Skills for the TOEIC® Test focuses on refining
skills and provides practice in key language and grammar
points.
TOEIC® Analyst focuses on question types, strategies for
answering, and avoiding common mistakes.
Target TOEIC® has six practice tests to help students
determine their readiness for the real test.

Compass Publishing’s TOEFL® Practice Book Series

Introduction to the TOEFL® iBT
Compass Publishing’s TOEFL® iBT Series
The Compass TOEFL® test preparation series develops and refines
skills necessary for achieving the maximum score on the TOEFL®
iBT. Available in combined editions and split editions by skill and
level, the Compass series provides students multiple opportunities
to learn and practice their reading, writing, speaking, and listening
skills, as well as familiarize themselves with the question types
found on the actual TOEFL®.

TOEFL

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL®)
measures the test takers’ ability to use and understand
English in all four skills: reading, listening, speaking, and
writing in academic settings. The majority of academic
institutions in the United States require a TOEFL® score for
non-native speakers of English applying for admittance.
The Internet-based test (iBT) is the most current version
administered by ETS and has almost completely replaced
the previous paper-based format. The iBT focuses on
integrated skills and is taken on a computer connected to
a secure Internet site.
