Meet the Series Editors ... Jocelyn Potter & Andy Hopkins “We have worked closely with graded Readers for over 20 years now, and we passionately believe in the value of extensive reading for pleasure: how it can dramatically improve foreign language learning, as well as keeping learners motivated. As series editors, we aim to provide a wide range of amazing stories and fascinating non-fiction Readers at appropriate levels so that there is something for every learner, whatever their level of English. We also work to ensure these Readers follow a consistent level system that teachers and learners can always rely on. For every title, we make sure that the text is written to strict guidelines based on the lexical load (vocabulary) and grammatical content informed by the British National Corpus, Longman Defining Vocabulary and relevant Council of Europe specifications.
Pearson English Kids Readers Engaging young learners From classic tales to exciting original adventures, favourite Disney movies and fabulous Roald Dahl classics, Pearson English Kids Readers will delight young learners with their colourful illustrations, unforgettable characters and engaging stories - all presented in accessible English. Our Kids Story Readers use timeless children’s tales to create a wonderful shared reading experience whereas our Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Readers will also help kids discover the world around them through topics such as art, science and geography.
Meet the Series Editor ... Melanie Williams “I have worked with young learners and their teachers for the whole of my teaching career. I have been lucky enough to work in many countries; training teachers, advising on and delivering curriculum development projects and working with young learners in the classroom. I have always been fascinated by stories, indeed I completed my Masters Dissertation on the subject of Teaching through Story. This confirmed for me how important stories are for children in terms of their cognitive development and their language learning. Since that time, stories have featured strongly in the work I have done. I have had the pleasure of being Series Editor of the Pearson English Kids’ Readers since the series began.”
We hope you enjoy using Readers as much as we do!”
