Learners of English will feel supported reading with Visible Press’s Classic Story Readers. The wide choice of stories and attractive full colour illustrations will hook those who don’t usually like reading. Before reading activities, on the author, characters and story events, prepare learners for extensive reading. On-the-page glosses of words and phrases support understanding. After reading tasks review the story, giving language and skills work practice in context. Literature (including Language Learner Literature) offers students a richer language experience than course books. Classic stories also contain life messages about big issues and values, making them a great starting point for productive response tasks. The Classic Story Readers series follows CEFR levels from Pre-A1 to B2.
