Penguin Readers Starter Level: Romeo and Juliet + free audio and digital version

Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series for learners of English as a foreign language. With carefully adapted text, new illustrations and language learning exercises, the print edition also includes instructions to access supporting material online.

Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to bestselling authors and compelling content.

The eight levels of Penguin Readers follow the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR). Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills. Before, during and after-reading questions test readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary.


There is no sun this morning. It is not here. It is sad for Juliet and her Romeo.
Romeo loves Juliet and Juliet loves Romeo. But their families are enemies and they cannot marry.
