We took each of our three volumes in the series and created this all-in-one complete set (of all three books). Each delightful story is 500-1,500 words, so you'll easily be able to read while on the go (during your commute, while in line, during those found moments and short breaks throughout your busy day. The more you read and re-read, the more you'll reinforce your understanding of vocabulary and grammatical elements.

They have simple plots, with varied and familiar themes that you'll surely recognize and love. They are also very short for quick reading, making them ideal for enjoying even if you don't have a lot of time - for example, on your mobile device while on the go.

How to Read

For maximum benefit, we recommend reading each story three times. On your first read, simply enjoy the story without stopping to look up any vocabulary. It's normal not to understand everything at this point - focus on grasping the general ideas and themes.

On your second read, take the time to look up any words or phrases that you don't understand. This will help you to build your vocabulary and deepen your comprehension.

Finally, on your third read, you should be able to understand most everything. Use this opportunity to reinforce your knowledge and gain greater insight into the story.

Remember, reading and re-reading these stories is the most effective and natural way to improve your English. As you do so, you'll subconsciously learn proper grammar and usage, and gradually develop a more native-sounding proficiency. So take your time, enjoy these short stories, and reap the benefits of your enhanced English language skills.
