《DK Readers Level 3 Beastly Tales》.pdf

To the reader: Welcome to the DK ELT Graded Readers! These readers are different. They explore aspects of the world around us: its history, geography, science … and a lot of other things. And they show the different ways in which people live now, and lived in the past. These DK ELT Graded Readers give you material for reading for information, and reading for pleasure. You are using your English to do something real. The illustrations will help you understand the text, and also help bring the Reader to life. There is a glossary to help you understand the special words for this topic. Listen to the cassette or CD as well, and you can really enter the world of the Olympic Games, the Titanic, or the Trojan War … and a lot more. Choose the topics that interest you, improve your English, and learn something … all at the same time. Enjoy the series! To the teacher: This series provides varied reading practice at five levels of language difficulty, from elementary to FCE level: BEGINNER ELEMENTARY A ELEMENTARY B INTERMEDIATE UPPER INTERMEDIATE The language syllabus has been designed to suit the factual nature of the series, and includes a wider vocabulary range than is usual with ELT readers: language linked with the specific theme of each book is included and glossed. The language scheme, and ideas for exploiting the material (including the recorded material) both in and out of class are contained in the Teacher’s Resource Book.
