The bundle contains three substantial reading packs with 60 themed reading texts and accompanying comprehension activities across the full Entry Level range.

The Entry 2 pack contains 20 longer guided reading texts covering topics such as climbing, skateboarding, BMX racing, mountain biking, parkour, surfing, skydiving and adaptive extreme sports. Learners practise finding main points and details, using headings and captions, understanding vocabulary in context, dictionary work, alphabetical order and short written responses.

The Entry 3 pack develops learners through a broad range of increasingly challenging text types, including adventure narratives, instruction leaflets, blog posts, interviews, magazine features, news reports, formal emails, balanced arguments, equipment guides, incident reports and commentary transcripts.
