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.
