Scholastic’s Popcorn ELT Readers is a series of low-level, graded readers based on popular films, TV series, and classic children’s literature.

Targeted at students in the early stages of learning English, Popcorn ELT Readers are available at three levels: Early Beginner, Mid Beginner and High Beginner. The syllabus and headword lists have been carefully designed by a specialist language learning consultant and present a gradual but steady progression from level to level.

Extensive reading is essential for improving fluency and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for contemporary, low-level reding material for younger learners. This reader is based on the hit 2011 animated movie Rio about Blu, a domesticated macaw who goes to Rio de Janeiro to save his species. Blu and Jewel is one of three readers based on the film.
