Levels The Macmillan Factual Readers are a six-level series (1+ to 6+). Each Reader is carefully graded to ensure that language structures are gradually introduced and that the more complex language demands of the CLIL content are embedded in language that is easily accessible. The plus (+) sign indicates that, due to the focus on specialised vocabulary and concepts in the Macmillan Factual Readers, the language demands are more challenging than standard Readers of the same level.

What do vets do? How do snakes get warm? How does a train move? What happens to your food after you eat it?

These Readers can also be used as a stand-alone phonics reading scheme. Key features ✸ The phonics focus is set within the context of a story to ensure that reading for meaning is retained ✸ Popular and familiar characters from the Macmillan English Explorers series reappear and new contexts and characters are also introduced ✸ Detailed Teacher’s Notes show how to focus on letters and sounds to support pronunciation, reading and spelling
Support materials Audio tracks and worksheets for both Macmillan English Explorers and Macmillan Explorers Phonics are available to download from www.macmillanyounglearners.com/readers, as well as teacher’s notes and resources. Big Books are available for some titles at the early levels.
