This book is the second volume of a supplementary textbook to be used either in the classroom or by individual students at home. It is not meant to replace other textbooks that focus on the intensive teaching of Czech grammar and vocabulary. One of the most important features of this book is its use of unaltered, authentic Czech materials. The materials presented here are authentic items that Czechs see every day in newspapers, magazines, signs, advertisements, and in conducting the routines of daily life. This volume focuses on a single skill: reading. The varied readings, exercises, and suggestions for developing and using reading strategies contained in this book are meant to help American users become more skillful readers of Czech. The book consists of twenty units that have been grouped into two levels based on two American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) proficiency guidelines: Advanced and Advanced Plus. Each unit and its accompanying exercises focus on materials grouped around basic topics, such as transportation, food, housing, health, commerce, communications, entertainment, education, politics, and the environment. Numerous diagrams, figures, tables, and illustrations are provided. Answer keys are included at the end of the book. (KFT)
