In the Library
1. Browse the ELL shelf which includes Starter books, levels 1 through 5+. Higher numbers indicate a more challenging reading level. Penguin ELL Readers have an audio book companion. It helps to listen to the books while reading the print text.
2. In the library catalogue search by book series. Type one of the following series names into the catalogue search box, then click the series icon below the search box:
- Dear Canada
- Sidestreets
- Orca
- Rapid Reads
- Graphic Classics
3. Look for ELL books in the regular fiction section. They are more challenging that the books on the ELL shelf but are still easy reading for beginners to the English language. Look for a yellow ELL label on the spine of the book.
4. Try the ELL Audio Books. All books with the Penguin Readers label on the covers have an audio book version. See the teacher-librarian for access instructions to Audio Books, or see your ELL teacher.
