How to Approach the Units in LaunchPad Solo for Readers and Writers

Each unit in LaunchPad Solo for Readers and Writers includes multiple activities to help you improve your reading and writing. If your teacher assigns them, you might take a pre-test, read the introduction, work through study pages, practice with LearningCurve, and take a post-test. Or, you might only read study pages and practice with LearningCurve.

Whether you complete all of the available activities in each unit or just a few of them, we want you to get the most you can out of LaunchPad Solo for Readers and Writers. On the following pages, we offer you advice about how to approach the units.

Good luck!
