I agree. That's why I included it in my original post. ;) (EDIT, sorry, just realized that you were showing us where to get the version with CD! Thanks!)
Thank you for mentioning these. I was aware of them, and they all look good. It should be mentioned that they are definitely for intermediate learners, even the one called "First French Reader". Edited by Jeffers on 14 January 2013 at 9:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I recently picked up Better Reading French by Annie Heminway - it has several sections on different topics with reading passages in each starting at a fairly basic level. I've not got far enough into it to know how advanced it gets, but so far so good.

What I have found to be truly helpful are les petits romans par Blaine Ray. You can find
them on Amazon. Each book costs about $6 and are well worth the price. Here are a couple titles: "Pauvre Lola" and "Fama va en Californie." Not only are these short novels confidence builders, but they truly do allow the reader to easily and naturally acquire vocabulary words and grammatical patterns. I'm really glad I found them. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for the suggestion clevernamehere. I checked them out, and at least on
Amazon.co.uk the books are rather expensive, and there is no preview to get a sense of what they're like. In addition, audio is sold separately. Finding buying options on the tprstorytelling website was quite difficult as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hey Jeffers, I second dbag's suggestion. Plus World of Reading (www.wor.com) has some
of the books I suggested earlier. Also, the tprs website I recommended allows you to preview most of the books. Here's the past tense preview of one book: http://www.tprstorytelling.com/images/file/fr- houdini-past.pdf The website also provides a total word count and a unique word count for most titles. Unfortunately, I don't have much info regarding international shipping (to the UK), but, odds are, they ship internationally. Here are a number of great bookshops and resources: abebooks.com (best if you already have a title or author in mind) shoenhofs.com wor.com MOST DEFINITELY check out that site linked by dbag. adlersforeignbooks.com (not many easy readers, but lots of books for children and bandes dessinées) ouiforkids.com bon courage :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
