Reading Programme - notes for teachers

The Usborne Reading Programme is a valuable addition to the English language teacher's resources:

Lively writing and superb illustration capture the reader's interest, and motivate and encourage to read on and read more;
The seven-level framework allows pupils to progress and gain confidence level by level, not only in terms of overall length but also complexity of plot, sentence structure, vocabulary and grammatical structure;
The wide variety of subjects and genres offers something for everyone, allowing pupils to pursue their own interests – a priceless motivational tool;
Fluent, well-constructed prose provides a sound model for pupils' own writing;
Audio CDs offer top-quality recordings by professional readers, an excellent model for listening and speaking.
