Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series designed for learners of English as a foreign language. The print edition offers carefully adapted text, new illustrations, and language learning exercises, along with instructions to access supporting material online. The series includes a wide range of titles, encompassing popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction. Each level of Penguin Readers aligns with the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR), providing a structured learning path for language learners.

Exercises at the back of each Reader focus on practicing grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills. Before, during, and after-reading questions test readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary.

Brick Lane, a Level 6 Reader, is B1+ in the CEFR framework. The longer text consists of sentences with up to four clauses, introducing future continuous, reported questions, third conditional, was going to, and ellipsis. A small number of illustrations support the text.

When Nazneen is 18, she marries a much older man and moves from Bangladesh to England to be with her husband. However, Brick Lane in London is vastly different from Nazneen's village, and she speaks no English. Nazneen must navigate the challenges of caring for her family and adapting to a new and unfamiliar country.

Exclusively with the print edition, readers can unlock online resources, including a digital book, audio edition, lesson plans, and answer keys. These additional resources enhance the learning experience and provide further support for language learners.

Penguin Readers is an excellent resource for learners of English who are looking to improve their reading skills, expand their vocabulary, and develop a deeper understanding of English literature and culture. With its engaging content, comprehensive exercises, and online resources, Penguin Readers offers a well-rounded and effective learning experience for language enthusiasts of all levels.
