Page 4 - Active Skills for Reading Intro Book

Dedication & Acknowledgments

This book is dedicated to the students and teachers who have used ACTIVE Skills for Reading over the past
1 O years. Since 2002/2003 when the first edition of ACTIVE Skills for Reading was published, thousands of
students and teachers have used the book. I know that I had no idea that the series would be this popular
and that we would reach the stage of publishing a third edition.

The pedagogical framework for this series is as viable today as it has ever been. As students and teachers
use each of the elements of ACTIVE, stronger reading will result.

My associations with the editorial team in Singapore continue to be some of my greatest professional
relationships. I express appreciation to Sean Bermingham, Derek Mackrell, and Andrew Robinson for their
commitment to excellence in publishing. I also express appreciation to Jenny Wilsen and John Mum for their
commitment to helping the third edition be stronger than the two previous editions.
