Just So Stories

A starter  Green Apple  graded reader, retold by Elizabeth Ann More. Have you ever wondered why elephants have such long noses and why leopards have spots? Do you know why kangaroos hop around Australia and who gave camels their humps? Read these five delightfully funny stories and find out.

This reader uses the EXPANSIVE READING approach, where the text becomes a springboard to improve language skills and to explore historical background, cultural connections and other topics suggested by the text. As well as the story, this reader contains:

• A biography of Rudyard Kipling

• A wide range of interactive activities practising the four skills

• Dossiers: The Animals of Australia and Whales

• KET-, YLE Flyer-style and Trinity-style activities (Grades 1, 2)
