GRADED READERS

Enjoyable reading material providing a rich
context for language practice. Exciting classic

stories retold in a unique way and original
stories which feature the cultures of
English-speaking countries!

MM Publications Graded Readers provide learners from Beginner to Upper-
Intermediate level with enjoyable reading material, while helping them to develop
a variety of language skills. Delightful characters and exciting adventures provide
the inspiration for our classic and contemporary stories.
The stories have been carefully graded for each level according to vocabulary,
grammatical structures, sentence length and plot complexity so as to ensure that
the students’ understanding of the story is not impeded. Each story consists of
10 - 13 chapters. Wonderful full-colour illustrations, closely integrated with the
text, stimulate learners and facilitate understanding. Each Reader in the series is
accompanied by an Activity Book, a Teacher’s Book and an audio CD.
The Activity Book includes a variety of exercises on each chapter, checking the
comprehension of the chapter, practising new vocabulary and requiring the
production of sentences or short paragraphs. There are also questions requiring
learners to guess what will happen in the following chapter. At the back of the
book, there is a number of exercises on the whole story, which help learners revise
the plot, characters and key events of the story. Finally, a glossary aids students
with unknown vocabulary.
The Teacher’s Book consists of the Reader, the Activity Book with overprinted
answers and a section with Teacher’s Notes. In this section, background
information is provided, as well as detailed lesson plans. A step-by-step approach
is given, containing a list of pre- and post-reading activities, general, specific and
prediction questions, ideas for projects, posters and games, etc., to encourage
class participation and discussions. Revision Tests and a detailed marking
scheme are also included.
The audio CD, which contains a fully dramatised version of the story, including
music and sound effects, makes reading more pleasurable and is also useful for
ELTReaders Packs which include the Reader, the Activity Book and the accompanying audio CD
listening practice before learners read the text.
