Teacher's Book

There is one Teacher’s Book with eBook and Resources for each level of the Disney Kids Readers, with 78 pages per book. These books contain:

The Teacher’s Book ties all aspects of the program together in a series of lesson plans.
It provides the framework and the tools for delivering a language skills and literacy course.
Lesson plans provide an overview of the story; the learning objectives; the materials needed; and step-by-step instructions for the presentation, practice, extension, review, and assessment stages of each lesson.
The Teacher’s Notes & Photocopiables are referenced in the Teacher’s Guide so that information isn’t duplicated across the two teaching components, and photocopiable activities sheets can be used in both teaching scenarios, i.e., whether a teacher is using the Teacher’s Guide or the Teacher’s Notes.

Teacher’s books are available per level. All printed teacher’s books include access to:

Teacher’s book (eBook)
Teacher’s Notes (online, PDF)
Photocopiables (online, PDF)
Audio of all six titles in the level (online, mp3)
Level workbook (ebook)
