Good basic reading text

I have been using this textbook to teach my reading development and basic study skills community college class for two years and like it's logical format and easy-to-understand explanations. The examples are good, for the most part. It is good for reviewing concepts learned throughout high school, such as an author's tone, figurative language, distinguishing fact from fiction.
