By level or age?

Reading, listening, speaking & writing materials for online and classroom use.
- short texts ideal for classroom use
- glossary & activities to accompany texts
- all texts simplified and graded according to level
- fun listening and watching materials

Materials are broadly categorised by age and/or level - but enjoyment is the primary criteria.

Confident younger readers can attempt the materials aimed at teens. Similarly older children with a lower language level or reluctant readers may prefer to try the shorter, simpler texts before moving on.

Starting Points?

A good starting point for younger children is the Uncle Edgar section. The stories are fun and easy to follow. They are also have a strong visual element.

For teens/young adults the Fred and Rita conversations are very popular and flexible in terms of level.

Endorsements

I really enjoy your reading activities, they are always a hit with my English Conversation Group
