Description

Penguin Readers is a carefully crafted ELT graded reader series from Penguin Books, designed to support learners of English as a foreign language at every stage of their journey. With eight levels aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR), this series bridges the gap between language study and real-world reading. Each title features adapted text, fresh illustrations, and integrated language learning exercises that build grammar, vocabulary, and exam skills. From gripping contemporary fiction to beloved classics and thought-provoking non-fiction, Penguin Readers introduces students to acclaimed authors and compelling content in an accessible format. Exclusive to the print editions, readers unlock a complete digital package including an eBook, audio edition, lesson plans, and answer keys, making it an ideal resource for both independent learners and classroom settings.

The series transforms celebrated titles like Jojo Moyes's Me Before You into manageable, engaging reads that never lose the heart of the original story. In Me Before You, learners follow the life-changing relationship between Lou Clark and Will Traynor, exploring themes of love and personal growth while practicing language skills. With before-, during-, and after-reading questions, Penguin Readers ensures deep comprehension and meaningful engagement. Whether used for self-study or as part of a structured curriculum, this internationally respected series empowers language learners to build confidence, fluency, and a lifelong reading habit.
