By the same token, teaching English also requires dedication, hard work and comes with its own unique set of challenges – a busy curriculum, large class sizes and, most commonly, uninspiring teaching materials. Here at Scholastic, we understand teachers and students. We are here to connect with your classes and to save you time. In our range of graded readers and teachers’ resource books you will fi nd a wealth of lively, meaningful content that has the potential to turn an otherwise dull lesson into an exciting one. Your students might fi nd themselves reading a biography of Steve Jobs, practising a Kung Fu Panda Holiday chant or acting out a scene from Shrek! Learning English requires commitment. It takes time and perseverance. It can be challenging and, at times, frustrating. But, most importantly, it should also be fun. At Scholastic, we’ve never lost sight of that. Wishing you and your students all the best for the future!
