This series of simplified easy readers has a vocabulary of approximately 600 words.They are suitable for students between the ages of 12 and 16 who have studied English for about two years.These books are particulary useful as support material for teachers of English as a second language,since they have been structured to encourage active reading:on the left-hand page there is the story,complete with explanatory notes oin English,and on the right-hand page there are exercises which refer exlusively to the text opposite.In this way the student is obliged not only to make a thorough study of what he has read,but also to analyse the use of vocabulary,tenses,syntax,etc.and to reproduce it;in this way,his teacher (and he himself) are able to verity his comprehension.Hence the name Activity Book-all writing is done on the page.No extra paper.No copy-books.And no need to leaf through the book-all the student needs is there before his eyes.Each exercise is complete with an example that makes it quite clear what the student has to do.Some exercises review his grammatical knowledge of the English language,others are just good fun.By the end of the book the student will know the story and should be able to recount it,too!
