Scholastic ELT Readers are a series of contemporary film and TV adaptations, original teenage fiction and
classic literature, specifically targeted at teenagers learning English. They are published at five levels
following a carefully graded syllabus.

The Scholastic range of titles reflects a world that teenagers will instantly recognise. Popular fi lm and TV series such as Superman, Lost and The OC sit alongside coming-of age classics like Billy Elliot and Angela’s Ashes. Real teenage issues and themes such as bullying and relationships are tackled
in original fi ction titles, and classic literature is injected with new life by tying in with recent fi lms and TV series such as Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre.Students’ different tastes and interests are acknowledged in the broad spread of titles, ranging from the light (Spider-Man,The Pink Panther) to the thought-provoking (Touching the Void and Carl Hiaasen’s ecological thriller Hoot).

Innovative design
Illustrated with inspiring full-colour graphics, these readers are designed to attract your students to reading. Images tie in with the film or TV series, and creative formats such as blogs, manga stories and comic strips generate instant appeal among teenagers. Navigation is straightforward and levels are clearly indicated with a distinctive colour scheme.

Fact Files
At the back of each reader is a magazine-style Fact File section. The Fact Files include interviews and behind the-scenes features, as well as presenting aspects of UK / US culture and exploration of themes developed in the reader. This provides cross-cultural information for students to explore autonomously or as a class.The easy-to-read format further adds to the appeal.

People & Places
The People & Places spread at the start of each story sets the scene by introducing the key characters
in a visually stimulating and accessible way.

Activities, audio and extra resources
The self-study section ensures that students are able to check comprehension as
they progress through each story, with activities for before and after each section.
Free online teacher’s resource sheets provide more activities, suggestions for
full exploitation of the reader plus follow-up project work. Most readers are also
accompanied by an audio recording of the story.
