Read in Levels is a free English learning platform that publishes daily news articles adapted into five difficulty levels based on the CEFR framework. We believe that reading real news — not textbook dialogues — is the most effective and motivating way to improve English. Our goal is to make graded reading accessible to every learner in the world.
A modern alternative to News in Levels: same idea of leveled news for learners, but with audio synced word-by-word with the text and finer-grained CEFR levels (A1–C1). See our full level guide →
Every news story is adapted into A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1 versions so you always read at the right difficulty.
Audio synced word-by-word with the text — each word highlights as it's spoken. Tap any word to hear it again or see its definition.
Test your understanding with multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and ordering exercises after each article.
Vocabulary definitions and exercise explanations are available in 12 languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and more.
