ELT Graded Readers: Under the Microscope

Welcome to DK ELT Graded Readers. They explore aspects of the world around us and show the different ways in which people live now. They give you material for reading for information and reading for pleasure. You can use you English to do something real and the illustrations will help you to understand the text and the Picture Dictionary will help you understand the special words for this topic. You can also listen to the CD or cassette as well. DK ELT Graded Readers are a new series of readers for adolescent and young adult learners of English. They draws on the proven strengths of DK books for native speakers of English; an interesting approach to factual topics clear detailed illustrations and a combination of education information and enjoyment. These same strengths are now available to teachers and learners of English. The levels have been chosen for ease of use to approximate to the various UCLES exams and the readers can be used alongside the appropriate course book. The authors are practising ELT teachers and trainers with a special interest in the use of reading in and out of the classroom. The book is intended as a starting point and is useful for discussions workshops and general practice.
