The language, vocabulary, style and content of every book is carefully graded to make sure it suits the learner's own language ability.
Many of the titles are available as audio packs which makes them particularly suitable as readalong books.

Penguin Readers are graded at seven levels of difficulty from Easystarts to Level 6. Easystarts titles include only the 200 most frequently used words. As you move up the levels, more and more words and more complex grammar and language structures are gradually introduced.
There are seven levels, Easystart to Level 6, with a reading age of 6-12+

Also in the series are Penguin Readers Photocopiables. Penguin Readers Games and Activities and Penguin Readers Instant Lessons provide ready-to-go lessons and advice to help learners tackle different language areas and develop all four skills. Each book is packed with activities based on extracts from bestselling Penguin Readers.

There are also free downloadable factsheets available from www.penguinreaders.com for most titles.

Penguin Young Readers

Penguin Young Readers are written by specialist ELT authors. The language, topics and page design are carefully graded to match both the age and ability of every young learner.

Penguin Young Readers are graded at four levels of difficulty from Level 1 to 4. As children's language improves, the language level increases to match their ability.

There are 3 book sizes at every level so younger children can read larger sized books with fewer words per page and larger illustrations. For older children who are more familiar with reading in their own language, there are smaller sized books with more words per page, even at level 1.

Because children love hearing stories read to them, Penguin Young Readers offer a number of Big Books that are ideal for group reading.

Below are some sample pages from each level of the Young Penguin Graded Readers
