Simply Read! - Reading Promotion from Grade 5 - Edition from 2024 presents shortened and linguistically simplified bestsellers from children's and young adult literature that inexperienced readers can tackle independently and successfully. In addition to well-known classics, new and varied titles on a wide range of topics ensure reading enjoyment in the classroom or at home.

The proven concept of Simply Read! remains fundamentally intact: Each text is oriented towards the original version and is divided into approximately 10 to 12 chapters. The further development of the concept makes it even easier to use alongside the original reading material in inclusive classrooms. Each reading booklet includes:

• Designated stopping points, especially for inclusive teaching, focusing on key parts of a narrative text that enable collaborative work with all students through tasks and project ideas.
• Varied yet ritualized tasks that ensure comprehension of the narrative text.
• Creative and productive tasks that encourage empathy with characters and their actions.
• Text-relieving illustrations at the beginning of each chapter for an easy start.
• A new, accessible, and reading-friendly layout: large format and sans-serif font, text-relieving illustrations, continuous line numbering as a visual reading aid, simplified phonetic transcription for difficult words.
• Optional digital media for each reading booklet: audio recordings for listening and semi-quiet reading provide additional support, especially for German as a second language (DaZ).
