Christmas-time is a series of storybooks especially designed to provide easy and enjoyable reading practice. They have been carefully graded into 3 primary stages and have been written in a way that will help teachers to use them as plays, thus providing an early introduction to drama as a means of learning. The Christmas-time series tells stories about the spirit of Christmas in a way that will appeal to young children, using colourful illustrations and dramatised cassettes or CDs to stimulate the imagination of the pupils and encourage them to explore the wonderful world of the English language through literature, poetry and drama.
