Good reading textbooks

Although there are a bunch of good ESL textbooks, I recommend some I really like.

1) Presenting Different Opinions by Richard McMahon, NAN'UN-DO

This is published by a small Japanese publishing company. However, this one is really good. If you are an ESL/EFL teacher, you should think about using this in your class. Reading passages are interesting. Since the structure of the textbook is really organized, students will be able to learn vocabulary and reading and thinking skills at the same time. And there are several good activities you can use for either a pair work or a group work. I wanted to use this textbook for my class, but my students' level was too low to use it. So, I used another one, which will be shown below.

2) PASSWORD by Linda Bulter, Longman

This is also good one. While reading passages and doing questions and activities in there, students can improve their vocabulary and grammar as well as reading skills. But, it is not as unique as Presenting Different Opinions.
