Age-appropriate complete works are often too extensive and too difficult for weaker readers. The reading series "einfach lesen!" presents shortened and simplified youth books. Each chapter begins with a text-relieving illustration and includes tasks and exercises at the end to ensure text comprehension. They allow students to work on and deepen both content-related and linguistic aspects. Fill-in-the-blank texts, picture and word puzzles, problem-oriented questions, drawing tasks, and other playful exercises support a lively reading and support instruction. An answer booklet is included with each volume.
