The Multi-ROM CD that accompanies the Young ELI Readers adds a new, digital dimension to reading in class with an interactive whiteboard (IWB), to reading in the school multimedia centre or to reading at home on the PC.

The Multi-ROM CD allows children to:

• follow fun animations of the story;

• listen to the recordings on either a conventional CD player or a PC;

• do engaging, interactive and auto-correcting exercises.
