One story, four ways to read it
Every story comes in its original version plus several simplified reading levels, so it grows with your child.
The original text is the full story with rich vocabulary and descriptive language, ideal for reading aloud together and for kids who are ready for longer sentences.
The simplified levels retell the same story in shorter, simpler sentences matched to your child's stage. Ages 2-6 uses a few short sentences per scene, perfect for first time readers. Ages 4-8 adds simple dialogue and everyday vocabulary for kids beginning to follow along. Ages 6-10 keeps the language accessible while bringing back more of the story's detail, a natural bridge to the original.
Start at the level where your child is comfortable, and move up when they're ready. Hearing the same story told in richer language each time is one of the best ways to build vocabulary in any language.
Original Text: Crita Nona Moppet
Iki ana kucing jenenge Miss Moppet; dheweke rumangsa wis krungu ana tikus!
Iki si Tikus sing ngintip saka mburi lemari lan ngece Miss Moppet. Dheweke ora wedi karo seekor anak kucing.
Iki Miss Moppet sing mlumpat rada telat—dheweke kliwat saka si Tikus lan nabrak sirahe dhewe.
Dheweke ngira iku lemari sing banget keras!
Si Tikus nggatekake Miss Moppet saka ndhuwure lemari.
Miss Moppet ngiket sirahe nganggo salembar kain lan lungguh ing cedhak pawon.
Si Tikus mikir dheweke katon lara banget. Dheweke teka meluncur mudhun liwat tali lonceng.
Miss Moppet katon saya nemen. Si Tikus teka sithik luwih cedhak.
Miss Moppet nyekel sirahe sing cilaka nganggo cakaré lan nyawang liwat bolongan ing kain iku. Si Tikus teka cedhak banget.
Lan banjur dumadakan—Miss Moppet mlumpat menyang ndhuwure si Tikus!
Lan amarga si Tikus wis nggodha Miss Moppet—Miss Moppet mikir dheweke bakal males nggodha si Tikus; sing iku ora pati becik saka Miss Moppet.
Dheweke ngiket bayi mau ing sajrone kain iku lan mbanting-mbantingake kaya bal.
Nanging dheweke lali babagan bolongan ing kain iku; lan nalika dheweke mbukak ikatane—ora ana si Tikus!
Dheweke wis ucul lan mlayu; lan dheweke lagi njoget jingkrak-jingkrak ing dhuwur lemari!
