Reviews
I like how B1 English Vocabulary Builder engages students in the stories - really good ones too! The vocabulary tests get the student to notice the B1 words, and they get repeated lots of times so it should mean students will remember the new vocabulary. (Amazon buyer) All the stories seem to come with audio from a QR code download (I haven't tried them all yet - but the first one I tried worked fine). There are also speaking prompts to get the reader to speak aloud. (Amazon buyer)
