Dracula

A graded reader is a book that has been adapted for learners of a foreign language, using simplified vocabulary, sentence structure and grammar. It’s designed to make reading easier while still offering the enjoyment of a full story. The difficulty level is adjusted to match different stages of language proficiency, giving them exactly the right level of challenge to progress without becoming discouraged.

This version has simplified language and it is shorter. This makes it easier for English learners. It uses strictly controlled vocabulary, shorter sentences and grammar at exactly the right level, while keeping the essence of the original story.
