By the Sea (Level 2, Topic Rdrs) (Reading 2000) - Tapa blanda

This work looks at different aspects of the sea and is part of the "Reading 2000" series, which is designed to be a forward-looking reading programme for juniors. It is a wide-ranging and practical package of materials designed to meet the language development needs of the 7-11+ age group. The programme comprises a selection of listening, talking, reading and writing activities which aim to give a base for further study. The series offers topic readers which link reading skills with environmental studies as part of a wider language programme. Although "Reading 2000" is a modular programmme, schools do not need to use the whole of the scheme to derive benefit from these readers which can be used on their own. This volume on the sea looks at various aspects ranging from bird spotting to seashells and from harbour life and fishing ports to lighthouses.
