One of the best-loved stories for younger readers takes us into the unforgettable world of Mole, Rat, Badger and the eccentric Mr Toad. 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: - An introduction about Kenneth Grahame - A wide range of activities practising the four skills - A dossier: Animals in Winter - A project on the web - KET-style activities - Trinity-style activities (Grades 2) - An AUDIO CD/CD-ROM with a full recording of the text and a variety of activities and games for further practice - An exit test with answer key
