Paperback / softback

Description

Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series for learners of English as a foreign language.

With carefully adapted text, new illustrations and language learning exercises, the print edition also includes instructions to access supporting material online. Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to bestselling authors and compelling content. The eight levels of Penguin Readers follow the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR).

Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills.

Before, during and after-reading questions test readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary. Bud, Not Buddy, a Level 4 Reader, is A2+ in the CEFR framework.

The text is made up of sentences with up to three clauses, introducing more complex uses of present perfect simple, passives, phrasal verbs and simple relative clauses.

It is well supported by illustrations, which appear regularly. Bud Caldwell is an 11-year old boy who goes to live in a horrible foster home.

After Bud escapes, he decides to find his father. Bud's adventures take him across the United States of America during the Great Depression, a time when many people were very poor.
