Penguin Active Reading is an exciting collection of adapted readers that provides reading-skill instruction and language learning through a variety of classic, contemporary, and original titles. Each book contains a wide range of integrated activities designed to develop reading skills and is packaged with an interactive CD-ROM that complements the exercises in the text.

This acclaimed series of adapted literature and original stories written for low-beginning to advanced students has been completely redesigned with a new look and enhanced content. These leveled readers help students build reading confidence through accessible language and a variety of appealing genres and topics, while vocabulary, grammar, and narrative content are carefully controlled over seven language-competency levels, ensuring a perfect match of reader to text.

Penguin Young Readers are leveled readers for children in kindergarten through grade 5. The range of titles includes well-known classic fairy tales, film adaptations, and original stories. The books are carefully leveled for language proficiency and age. The youngest readers start with large-sized picture books with few words on each page, while older children can enjoy books with more challenging language and beautiful illustrations to enhance their comprehension.
