阅读技能的讲解不能只停留在表面，而应更加细致地通过实例给学生以直观的、启发性的引导。本书在传授传统阅读技巧（Basic Reading，Effective Reading）的基础上，融入了先进的阅读教学的理念。本书扩展了传统的阅读技能的范围，增加了Mind Map，Detecting Bifds'Marking，up the Text等单元，是基于国内外最新阅读理论和研究成果的尝试；同时增加了“网络阅读策略”和“电子教案”等内容，使得教材能适应不同的教学形式和内容的需要，紧跟当前英语教学改革的最新动向，符合信息时代网络及多媒体教学的实际需要。本书避免过深、过细的理论讲解，深入浅出，力争“几语道破天机”，并通过形式丰富灵活的课堂、课后训练激发学生的阅读兴趣，将阅读与英语教学的诸多方面结合起来，以达到更好的英语阅读教学效果。
