PM Levelled Texts
The
PM Levelled Texts
are a set of 125 books
for levels 1–25, with five books per level. The
texts feature genuine Middle-Eastern settings,
providing authentic reading resources which
allow children to relate the concepts and the
situations to their own experiences.
Levels 1 and 2 texts focus on two or more
high-frequency words with a high repetition
rate allowing students to read them with
fluency. From levels 3 to 5, new high-frequency
words are introduced gradually and reinforced
throughout books at the same and succeeding
levels, while sentence construction is kept
short and simple.
Texts from levels 6–10 continue to increase
the number of sight words known to students.
Sentence construction becomes gradually
more complex and a more diverse range of
language features is included.
In levels 11–25, familiar characters reappear in
the fiction texts, while students are gradually
introduced to environments and concepts
beyond their immediate experience. More
specific vocabulary, challenging sentence
structures and new text types continue to
develop the students’ language skills.
