Research shows that soft skills are often better predictors of success in the workplace than technical skills. Sending the Right Message is one title in the 10-book series Soft Skills at Work. This high-interest, low-vocabulary reader uses two contrasting photostories to explore body language in the workplace. The photographs reflect the text, making the words easy to decode. This reader is intended for English language learners and adult basic education students who are beginning readers. This compelling photostory is guaranteed to provide beginning readers with a positive reading experience. Sending the Right Message explores the importance of being aware of body language through two contrasting photostories featuring Tony and Luna. Tony loses an eager potential employee, Luna, when an interview goes bad. When Tony becomes aware of the messages he is sending, he gets a much better result.
