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.
The Three Musketeers, a Level 5 Reader, is B1 in the CEFR framework. The
text is made up of sentences with up to four clauses, introducing
present perfect continuous, past perfect, reported speech and second
conditional. It is well supported by illustrations, which appear
regularly.
When the young d'Artagnan leaves his home in Gascony with the hope of
becoming one of the king's musketeers, it is the start of a wonderful
adventure. D'Artagnan soon meets the three musketeers, Athos, Porthos
and Aramis. Together they cry, All for one and one for all!
