A language course for middle and secondary schools, it provides practice in reading for pleasure and information with illustrated passages drawn from a wide variety of sources. Combined with Active English, it provides an integrated English course for students from the time they enter school until they leave it.

The Guided English (Introductory to 3) Teaching Guides have been designed to provide step by step instructions to help teachers make the most of the material without the need to spend hours in preparation for each class.
