Both series have been graded in three key stages: Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Children will love these beautifully illustrated readers which motivate young learners to explore English as a foreign language. These series enhance receptive skills by reading and listening, and gradually introduce the development of productive skills through the accompanying activities and the production of each story as a play (optional). The stories themselves have been carefully selected and present a great variety of classic and original tales, all of which have something more to teach than the language itself. The excellent illustrations and fully dramatised audio CDs stimulate the learners’ imaginations and the accompanying picture dictionary items help them make the association between word and meaning. Each reader set consists of: ■ a full-colour reader with an activity section at the back and removable scripts ■ an audio CD The Teacher’s Edition includes the Pupil’s Book, directions for the staging of each story as a play, tips on how to make the props and costumes easily and cost-effectively, as well as drama activities which can be used before each rehearsal so as to prepare learners for the wonderful world of drama. 85 Stage 1 THE SHEPHERD BOY & THE WOLF Aesop Aesop retold by Jenny Dooley & Vanessa Page retold by Jenny Dooley & Anthony Kerr The well-known story which shows how help can sometimes come from unexpected sources.
