Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series for learners of
English as a foreign language. With carefully adapted text, new
illustrations and language learning exercises, the print edition
also includes instructions to access supporting material online.
Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and
thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to
bestselling authors and compelling content.
The eight levels of Penguin Readers follow the Common European Framework
of Reference for language learning (CEFR). Exercises at the back of
each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and
key exam skills. Before, during and after-reading questions test
readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary.
