Instructional materials entitled "Reading Polish 2," second language course materials for teacher-assisted, mastery-based, self-paced instruction, are described and their uses discussed. The self-contained course is the eighth in a series of Polish individualized instruction materials, and is designed to be used by the student by working through the book's five units sequentially, in consultation with a teacher when necessary. It provides authentic reading materials and teaches five skills: to read and think critically, to separate fact from opinion, to recognize some different literary devices and styles, to use existing knowledge to make educated guesses about meaning and constructions, and to use different reading strategies for different purposes. Each unit contains seven texts using three reading strategies, pre-text and post-text exercises, and a test. The course can be used alone, or as a main or supplemental text in a regular classroom course. The source from which the instructional materials themselves can be obtained is given. (MSE)
