The Macmillan Explorers 4 are aimed at children aged 9-10. The reading book contains a motivating story, which uses high frequency words, plus story-specific words which are clarified by beautiful illustrations where possible. The ‘How to read well’ section provides children with advice on an effective reading approach and useful tips.

Macmillan English Explorers is an exciting reading programme developed specifically for children learning English in kindergarten and primary schools. Written with second language learners in mind, these books expose children to real language and develop their reading and vocabulary skills. This series forms an eight-level reading scheme written specifically for young learners of English. Informed by the National Literacy Strategy and by teaching methodology for first language speakers of English, Macmillan English Explorers are supported by an understanding of the needs of young learners and teachers of English. The scheme, which currently has over 50 readers plus supplementary materials, can be used alongside any primary course.
