Read and Discover combines lively reading material with carefully graded language, enabling students to discover more about the world while learning English. The topics have been chosen to stimulate students' interest and to cover key curriculum content from three broad subject areas: The World of Science and technology, The Natural World, and The World of Arts and Social Studies. All readers contain two activity pages for every chapter, two projects in each book and a picture dictionary for key vocabulary.
