The Penguin Teacher Support Programme

teachers. That’s why we have created an unbeatable range of materials
which is readily available - and free - on the Penguin Readers website.

Activity Worksheets (and answer keys)

Every title has its own photocopiable worksheet packed with
background information about the book and author as well as a range of
activities to help practise new vocabulary and grammar, increase
comprehension and develop all four skills.

Progress Tests (and answer keys)

Regular test questions help check students’ understanding of the story/text so problem areas can be identified immediately.
