About this ebook
Super-Short Stories for English Learners is an enjoyable collection of very short stories that English/ESL learners (or anyone) will love, ranging from adventure, to love, to horror. There are several books, each one for a different level of English learner - from beginner, to intermediate, to advanced. This series grows with you as your English improves.
Each delightful story (depending on which level of book you choose) is between 500 to 1,500 words, so you'll easily be able to read while on the go (during your commute, while in line, during those found moments and short breaks throughout your busy day). The more you read and re-read, the more you'll reinforce your understanding of vocabulary and grammatical elements. The best way to learn vocabulary, in fact, is to read. Never study vocabulary lists. Instead, read interesting content that you enjoy. That is the only way to learn and be able to use vocabulary correctly and in a native way. And before you know it, you'll level up your English!

How to Read
For maximum benefit, we recommend reading each story three times. On your first read, simply enjoy the story without stopping to look up any vocabulary. It's normal not to understand everything at this point - focus on grasping the general ideas and themes.
On your second read, take the time to look up any words or phrases that you don't understand. This will help you to build your vocabulary and deepen your comprehension.
Finally, on your third read, you should be able to understand most everything. Use this opportunity to reinforce your knowledge and gain greater insight into the story.
Remember, reading and re-reading these stories is the most effective and natural way to improve your English. As you do so, you'll subconsciously learn proper grammar and usage, and gradually develop a more native-sounding proficiency. So take your time, enjoy these short stories, and reap the benefits of your enhanced English language skills.
