Part of the Oxford Bookworms Library, this revised Starter edition is designed for English learners working with a controlled 250-word vocabulary. The book pairs an original story with support built around the reading process: an introductory section, illustrations, a glossary, and activities placed before, during, and after the text. These features make it a structured practice resource as well as a short reading experience, with attention to vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence at a low-beginning level.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Low-beginning adult learners of English
  • Students seeking a short, supported English reading text
  • Learners who benefit from glossary, illustration, and comprehension activities
