“Reading Beyond Basics” is a comprehensive guide designed to support learners progressing from foundational reading skills to an intermediate level of reading proficiency. This book aims to bridge the gap between basic comprehension and more complex textual analysis, making it ideal for students looking to expand their reading abilities in both academic and real-world contexts.

Divided into thematic units with 15 chapters, each chapter covers essential skills that go beyond elementary reading, such as identifying main ideas, making inferences, understanding nuanced vocabulary, and analyzing text structure. The book also includes practical activities, such as summarizing, critical thinking exercises, and discussion prompts, which encourage readers to engage actively with diverse text types, from narrative and expository passages to opinion pieces and articles.

The topics are as follows:

1. Vocabulary building
2. Topic of text
3. Main Ideas and Supporting Details
4. Pattern of Organization: Recognizing Paragraph Patterns (listing, cause-effect, comparison, and time order)
5. Skimming: Identifying the main points or important information and scanning to locate specific information in a text
6. Reading pictures, tables, and charts
7. Identifying Reference Words and Making Inferences
8. Differentiate fact and opinion
9. Getting General and Specific Information from the Text
10. Communicative Value (function) of the text (Invitation, warning, etc.)
11.  Reading Different Genres (narrative, descriptive, recount, and report text)
12. Drawing Conclusion and Summarizing
13. Critical Reading and Analysis
14. Note-taking Strategies
15. Reading Faster

In addition to skill-building exercises, Reading Beyond Basics emphasizes strategies for independent learning, encouraging students to read critically and develop personal insights into the material. With a balance of theory, practice, and real-life applications, this book provides learners with the tools they need to read confidently and fluently at an intermediate level, preparing them for more advanced reading demands.
