Education for Sustainable Development
Global Goals Reading
34 reading units for Entry 3 learners, two for each of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Every text is based on a real story, from the UK, Europe and the Global South, and every unit ends with a grammar focus and a speaking task.
How each unit works
Units follow the same shape, so learners know what to expect and teachers can pick up any unit without planning from scratch.
Lead-in
A short conversation between two people who know each other, then the key vocabulary learners need before they read.
Reading
A gist task first, then scanning and detail questions in varied order and formats.
Grammar
One discrete grammar point drawn from the text. Units are ordered so the grammar builds across four stages.
Speaking
A follow-up discussion that links the story back to learners' own lives.
The 17 goals
Units are in Word format so you can adapt them. Answer keys come as a separate document. Entry 1 and Entry 2 versions, with different stories, are in progress.
