Eli Young Readers 4: Our Water, Our World (A2)

Description: How we look after water is something that will greatly affect the future of our Earth and the wellbeing of its inhabitants.
This book asks children to think about the questions: What do you know about water? How much water is there on Earth and why is it so important? What do you know about the animals that live in our oceans, rivers and lakes? Are we looking after this vital natural resource? It also tells three stories from different parts of the world about how children have dealt with problems related to water.

These delightfully illustrated readers offer a mixture of adapted children's classics, playscripts and specially-written stories as well as a new collection of non-fiction titles, Real Lives, where children from different countries around the world tell us about their daily lives and culture (see below for details).

Each reader includes an audio recording of the story (on the accompanying CD and/or downloadable in MP3 format), pages of revision exercises and fun activities, along with a bookmark for the children to cut out. There is also an illustrated dictionary on the inside cover so that key vocabulary is easily accessible.

In addition, selected titles now also come with new multimedia content, adding an exciting digital dimension to reading in class with an IWB or even at home! The multimedia - on Video Multi-ROM or downloadable via the ELI-LINK app for smartphones and tablets - allows children to flick through a digital version of the book, follow fun animations of the story, listen to the text with a karaoke function, do engaging, interactive exercises with auto-correction and even record their own voices to practise their pronunciation and intonation.

There are four stages available in this series, graded according to the number of headwords used, which correspond to the beginner levels of the CEFR:

Stage One (orange) 100 words - below A1

Stage Two (purple) 200 words - A1

Stage Three (blue) 300 words - A1.1
