Stories from the Classics: Adapted for Intermediate Learners of English (English Edition)

Stories from the Classics is an exciting new collection of adapted stories from fifteen of the best-loved books in English literature. Here readers meet favorites like The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Frankenstein, Gulliver’s Travels, The Secret Garden, Great Expectations, The Call of the Wild, and Treasure Island. Like Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, these timeless classics take readers down the rabbit hole into a wonderland of discovery and adventure. The stories in Stories from the Classics have been adapted for intermediate learners of English (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages level B1-B2). They preserve the feel of the original texts, but are easier to read and short (1000-1500 words). Content is suitable for readers age 12 and up. The stories promote reading for pleasure, while building vocabulary and improving writing skills. Each story begins with a brief introduction and list of key words with definitions. Reading comprehension questions follow, with answer keys at the back. A glossary provides definitions of more than 200 words from the stories. Learners can also follow Stories from the Classics on Facebook.
