'Macmillan English Explorers' have been written specifically for young learners of English. They bring first-language teaching methods to reading lessons in international classrooms. There are eight levels, from beginning readers to confident readers.

Key features:

• The rich variety of texts, from original fiction to legends, means any child can enjoy reading, wherever their interests lie
• Comprehension Workbooks develop a range of reading skills while Phonics Workbooks support the systematic teaching of phonics
• ‘Comprehension Extra’ activities in the Teacher’s Notes encourage students to consider aspects of the text such as characterisation, style and plot
• Word-recognition skills are reinforced by the Workbooks and wordcards (included in the Teacher’s Notes)
• The Teacher’s Notes support structured whole-class teaching with page-by-page lesson notes
• Cross-curricular school content at higher levels means children can make links to other school subjects
• The stories promote social values such as friendship and respect
