A literature-based English course mapped to the ICSE Curriculum. Gem's English Reader (Silver Jubilee Edition) has gone from strength to strength. This legendary course has been regularly updated over a quarter of a century, in tune with changing times, remaining rooted in the linguistic and literary traditions it embodies. The series includes carefully graded selections comprising classic and modern prose and poetry from India and around the world. They cover a variety of genres, and are based on themes such as our country, nature, adventure, science and sports. The series enables the acquisition of language structures through UNDERSTANDING, PRODUCTION and COMMUNICATION.
