Welcome to Panorama 1, a reading skills text for beginning level students. Panorama 1 combines high-interest reading passages from the content areas with a strong vocabulary strand and extensive reading skills practice to prepare students for the challenges of academic reading. Each of the eight main units consists of three chapters, and each chapter has a thematically-linked reading passage. The first passage is about a person, the second about a related place, and the third about a related concept or event. The book begins with an introductory unit, Essential Reading Skills, that presents and practices the core reading skills needed for academic success.
