It is a set called Reading for Adults. The set includes 2 copies of 30 - 50 (I forget exactly how many) adult interest easy reading books. The books are color and glossy and very attractive and relate to adult subjects such as cars or shopping at the mall. The also come with some activity pages (some are better than others). Each story is also written out entirely on a worksheet so students can keep the text in a notebook for further practice or to highlight or cut apart. It also comes with tapes and CDs that read the book to the adults so you can use it for read along. I looked long and hard all year for easy reading material that is really good ands that is my favorite find. Enjoy!
