FAQs

Q1. Is this pack suitable for learners with dyslexia or reading difficulties?

Yes. While the pack is designed for EAL learners, its publication by Barrington Stoke — a specialist in accessible reading formats — means that its layout, font, spacing and pacing support readers who may have reading differences.

Q2. What is CEFR Level B1?

CEFR B1 is an intermediate level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, where learners can interact with some confidence, understand main points of familiar topics, and begin reading more detailed texts. This pack is designed with that level in mind.

Q3. What age group is this pack aimed at?

The interest age is not strictly listed but the content is designed to appeal to older children and young people (upper primary and secondary) who are developing English, or who benefit from accessible texts. The reading‑age band is mixed. :

Q4. How can this pack be used in schools or for home reading?

The pack is ideal for EAL induction classes, reading‑for‑pleasure libraries, bilingual support groups, paired reading at home, or for students who read English below their year group and need access to texts at their level. It offers variety, manageable length and age‑appropriate interest.

Q5. Are the books in the pack part of a series or can be read in any order?

The books are standalone titles selected for accessibility and interest — learners may choose based on interest rather than reading in a sequence.
