The structured approach to reading in English

Dominoes is an enjoyable series of illustrated classic and modern stories in four carefully graded language stages - from Starter to Three - which takes learners from beginner to intermediate level.

Each Domino reader includes:

• A good story to read and enjoy.
• Integrated activities to develop reading skills and increase active vocabulary.
• Personalised projects to make the language and story themes more meaningful.
• Seven pages of grammar activities for consolidation

Dominoes can be purchased as standalone readers or as part of an audio pack which includes the graded reader alongside downloadable MP3 audio.

  • The book incorporates some tricky words, like kingdom, enchantress, portion and cauldron, and manages to remain accessible for the target readers by providing simplified definitions.
  • I especially like the imaginative, stylish illustrations, and the language exercises at the back are useful.
