Description
Short Stories in English for Beginners
The book includes 8 stories that don’t use difficult language or grammar. I think it’s a top choice for beginners because the stories are entertaining and they are truly for beginners (A1 level). They focus on the most commonly used words and have natural-sounding dialogue so you can see how people speak English in real life.
The aspect I found most helpful was the “Six-Step Reading Process” section near the beginning. This tells you how to read the stories effectively and learn from them. In the following sections, each story has a word list, plot summary, and comprehension questions to check for understanding. I also enjoyed the content of the stories because they’re relatable. For example, in the “Crazy Paella” story, the main characters are students who are nervous about travelling abroad for the first time.
Key Benefits
- The stories use vocabulary and grammar to help beginners become intermediate readers
- The book focuses on comprehension and includes several exercises after each story
- You learn how to read specifically for improving English skills – I haven’t seen this in any other book!
