Extensive reading improves fluency and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for contemporary graded material that will motivate students to read.

This Robin Hood reader is based on an episode from the popular BBC series, where the legend of Robin Hood is updated for a 21st century audience.

Robin Hood and his men live as outlaws in Sherwood Forest. They fight corruption and injustice - both of which appear in large measure courtesy of the self-interested Sheriff of Nottingham.

When Robin and the outlaws uncover the Sheriff's latest scheme to buy Saracen slaves, they decide to foil his plans. Will Robin save the slaves, outwit the Sheriff, and win the prestigious silver arrow competition?
