Scholastic ELT Readers: Level 1
This range of Scholastic ELT readers reflects a world that teenagers will instantly recognise. It includes popular films and TV series and coming-of-age classics like Billy Elliot and Angela’s Ashes.
Inspiring full-colour graphics attract your students to reading. Images tie in with the media versions, and creative formats such as blogs, manga stories and comic strips generate instant appeal.
The People & Places spread at the start of each story sets the scene by introducing the key characters in a visually stimulating and accessible way.
The magazine-style Fact Files at the back of each reader include interviews, behind-the-scenes features, UK/US culture and themes developed in the reader.
The self-study section let students check comprehension as they progress through each story.
Free online teacher’s resource sheets provide more activities and follow-up project work.
Most readers are also accompanied by an audio recording of the story.
