THE NEW ELI READERS ‘Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.’ Charles W. Eliot
General Features The ELI Readers present themselves as narrative texts of great literary prominence with a strong identity, whether they are classics, adapted or whole, or originals. The different sections which complement the text (notes about the author, analyses, activities…) aim to enrich reading and facilitate understanding and language learning, without diminishing the pleasure of reading. The ELI Readers are divided into three series: Young ELI Readers, Teen ELI Readers, Young Adult ELI Readers, according to the age of the readers and their language level, and are in line with the indications set out in the Common European Framework of Reference for Language and comprise useful language certification exercises. The ELI Readers are available in four languages: English, French, German and Spanish.
