Support material for Basic Skills and English as a Foreign Language

We have many books for every reading level |
Many of our books come from the "Penguin Readers" series
They follow a common approach of grouping books by vocabulary
Penguin Readers are graded at seven levels of difficulty from "Easystarts" to Level 6.
"Easystarts" basic level 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 until the reader arrives at Level 6 - "Advanced" with a vocabulary of level of 3000 words.
