"The goal of Totally True Book 3 is to make it fun. It teaches common words in the context of amazing true stories at a pre-intermediate level. [...] Totally True was written with two things in mind: 1) that everyone loves a great story and 2) that students acquire new vocabulary more readily when they meet it in engaging contexts and then use it in purposeful follow-up activities."
