Story Magic
Learn English with magical stories and adventures
Story Magic is a four-level primary course aimed at children aged eight to twelve. The Story Magic course uses a story-based approach to language learning, supported by large full-colour story cards. In Story Magic 1 and 2 pupils share stories and learn with Max the Wizard and the Little Detectives. Levels 3 and 4 take a more mature approach with more attention given to reading and writing. Pupils taking levels 3 and 4 will follow the adventures of a gang of young detectives as they solve mysteries and go on exciting adventures together. Story Magic can be combined with Mini Magic to create a course perfect for younger beginners.
