A little English.
A bigger world.
English Mini Reads is a small project for adults who want to practise reading English, a little at a time.
Short reads, useful practice
We offer short lessons for A2 and B1 learners. Each lesson includes a reading passage, useful words with examples, and five questions with explanations.
Explore our reading lessons at your own pace. Some lessons may not have an audio recording. You can still read and answer the questions.
How we prepare lessons
We use AI to help write and check the English and questions. The level labels are guides based on AI review, not an independent language assessment.
We label fictional stories clearly. News lessons must include sources and dates. Mistakes can happen, so we welcome corrections.
