Earlyreads 4: Dracula And His Family+cd (A1-A2)

Description: This is the ‘ordinary’ life of Count Dracula, his wife Felicia, their three children, Adam, Eve and Brian, and their Butler, Roman Blenski.

This reader with its full-colour illustrations and wide range of exciting activities will delight children as they follow the story of the everyday life of Dracula and his family.
A picture dictionary precedes each chapter, encouraging children to become independent readers. The story is dialogue-based making it possible for children to act it out. It is narrated in full on the accompanying CD, which also includes various listening activities.

The EARLYREAD series contains both original stories and traditional favourites, as well as some cultural readers, graded over five levels.
Features of all readers are:
• beautiful illustrations, which not only encourage reading but actively help children to understand the story
• picture dictionaries, for active vocabulary work
• fun activities and games, often for more than one participant, which practise vocabulary and structures in the story.
• a recording of the whole text, either on an accompanying CD or downloadable at no charge from the Black Cat website.
All the readers can be easily dramatised. The most recent titles are accompanied by playscripts which can also be downloaded free from the Black Cat website.
