WHAT DOES GRADED READER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Graded reader

Graded readers are "easy reading" books used to support the Extensive reading approach to teaching English as a second or foreign language. While many graded readers are written for children, more often they are targeted at young adults and above, since children's books are widely available, and already tend to be easy to read. Graded readers can be adapted from literary classics, films, biographies, travel books, etc., or they can be originals written specifically at a less demanding language level. Although they employ simplified language, graded readers do not necessarily lack narrative depth or avoid complex themes; often, they cover the same range of 'serious' themes as books written for native speaker audiences. Graded readers are typically graded, i.e. levelled, within a series according to high frequency headword count. For example, Level 1 in a series might be restricted to 500 headwords, Level 2 to 600 headwords, and Level 3 to 700 headwords. Graded readers are not to be confused with Basal readers, such as Dick and Jane, which tend to target specific language features, and therefore are more like textbooks in nature.
