Longman Classics

 I’m teaching Brit Lit again this Fall to the local Co-op.  I stumbled across Longman Classics.  (Here is an article with different series of graded Basal readers.)  The Longman Classics are easy to read and divided into four stages.  Here is a short explanation.  If I can finally dig up more background on Longman Classics, I’ll share it here.  I’m loaning copies to kids with learning differences and encouraging them to start with the Longman Classic.  This way the kids will have some background.  The kids are free to listen to the audio book rather than read the novels, or read along as they listen.  What is important is understanding and evaluating the story or play.  We use every available tool to help kids succeed.
