This book is put out by the University of Michigan Press; authors are: Baudoin, Bober, Clarke, Dobson, and Silberstein. It has short articles, poems, excerpts, etc., with study questions, vocabulary, and word study sections which help with roots and affixes. You can find the book in most ESOL catalogues.
