Impara a leggere in francese attraverso la lettura estensiva

Ogni pagina presenta un glossario accanto al testo in modo da non interrompere mai il flusso di lettura per cercare una parola. Dopo ogni capitolo, esercizi di comprensione e vocabolario rafforzano ciò che hai letto, e i codici QR si collegano direttamente a flashcard online e giochi di abbinamento per la pratica della ripetizione spaziata. Da A1 principiante a C2 di padronanza, ogni libro in francese è disponibile come ebook o cartaceo — scegli il formato che si adatta al tuo stile di apprendimento.

Formati: e-book, paperback e super audiolibro

I nostri graded reader sono disponibili in diversi formati. Il testo, il livello CEFR e il glossario sono gli stessi in ogni formato — cambia solo il modo in cui leggi. Scegli quello che si adatta alla tua giornata: l'e-book sul telefono mentre vai al lavoro, carta e matita alla tua scrivania, o il super audiolibro quando vuoi leggere e ascoltare contemporaneamente.

E-book (EPUB e PDF). Puoi scaricare entrambi i file subito dopo l'acquisto e leggerli su e-reader, telefono, tablet o computer. Le parole difficili hanno la loro traduzione in una nota pop-up: un tocco e sei di nuovo nella storia, senza bisogno di dizionario. Ogni capitolo termina con esercizi di vocabolario e un link ti porta a praticare online gratuitamente con le stesse parole.

Paperback. Un classico libro con copertina morbida, stampato su ordinazione e spedito per posta. Il glossario si trova a margine, proprio accanto alla parola che spiega, così non devi mai sfogliare le pagine. I capitoli terminano con cruciverba ed esercizi di vocabolario, e i codici QR ti portano alla pratica online sul tuo telefono. Un'ottima scelta se ti piace scrivere nei tuoi libri o vuoi una pausa dagli schermi.

Formati in questo elenco (32 libri): E-Book: 32 · Brossura: 32 · Super audiolibro: 11.

Il super audiolibro: leggi, ascolta e controlla i significati contemporaneamente

Un super audiolibro è un audiolibro in formato karaoke. Un narratore legge il libro ad alta voce mentre lo stesso testo è davanti a te, con un indicatore che si muove parola per parola. Sai sempre quale parola stai ascoltando, così non perdi mai il filo — anche quando il narratore parla più velocemente di quanto tu legga. Le tue orecchie dicono ai tuoi occhi come suona una parola scritta, i tuoi occhi dicono alle tue orecchie come si scrive ciò che senti, ed entrambi i percorsi rafforzano le stesse parole contemporaneamente.

La vera differenza si vede quando incontri una parola che non conosci. In un audiolibro normale scompare in un secondo; in un super audiolibro rimane a portata di mano: le parole del glossario sono evidenziate a colori, e tenendone premuta una si mostra la sua traduzione nella tua lingua. Controlli il significato, continui ad ascoltare e non perdi mai il filo. Un cursore imposta la velocità del narratore da 0.5× a 1.5× — rallenta all'inizio per cogliere ogni sillaba, poi accelera verso il parlato naturale. Le parole che incontri durante la lettura tornano più tardi in brevi esercizi nell'app, come un mini cruciverba o la costruzione di una parola dalle sue lettere.

La lettura con ascolto è ben supportata dalla ricerca. In un programma canadese descritto da Lightbown e colleghi (2002), i bambini che per tre anni hanno imparato l'inglese solo in questo modo — leggendo libri mentre ascoltavano le loro registrazioni — hanno compreso la lingua altrettanto bene o meglio dei coetanei istruiti in classi regolari. Waring e Takaki (2003) hanno dimostrato che è necessario incontrare una parola almeno otto volte per avere anche solo il 50% di possibilità di riconoscerla tre mesi dopo. Ascoltare di nuovo un capitolo ti offre esattamente quegli incontri extra con le stesse parole — senza aver bisogno di un nuovo testo.

Ai livelli A1 e A2 il super audiolibro ti aiuta a collegare l'ortografia con la pronuncia — particolarmente prezioso nelle lingue che non si leggono come si scrivono, o che usano un alfabeto diverso. Ai livelli B1 e B2 ti accompagna al ritmo del parlato reale, così ti abitui all'ascolto fluente e smetti di fare pause ad ogni frase. I lettori avanzati spesso non hanno affatto bisogno di un narratore — ecco perché decidi tu quando attivarlo e quando leggere in silenzio.

Il super audiolibro viene riprodotto nell'app Pentecost o nel tuo browser, su telefono, tablet o computer. Puoi aggiungerlo a un e-book: sulla pagina del libro, seleziona “Aggiungi l'audiolibro” nella casella dell'e-book; se possiedi già l'e-book, puoi acquistare la registrazione separatamente. Con accesso illimitato puoi ascoltare ogni super audiolibro registrato senza limiti, e ogni mese puoi sbloccare la registrazione di un libro che non ne ha ancora una — viene narrato per te, e l'app ti avvisa quando è pronto. Il filtro Audiolibri mostra i titoli con una registrazione, e puoi riprodurre un campione gratuito senza creare un account.

★★★★★
"In a crowded café off the Vieux-Port last Tuesday, I was trying to tsll thr waiter that my coftee was fine but the croissant was burnt, and he simply brought a fresh one withiut switching to English. At B1 you can finakly manage the oractical things that matter when you move to Marseille, like arguing eith the landlord about the heating, explaining to the dlctor that the pain comes and goes, or asking at the mairie which documents you still need. Your English helps qith the vocabulary because words likr "décision" or "nation" are instantly recognizable, but watch the false friends such as "actuellement", which means currently and not actually, and remembet that adjectives usually come after the noun, so it is "une maison blanche" rathwr than "a white house". Do read these graded chapters aloud even when you trip over sounds English does not have, like the nasal vowel in "vingt" or the tight "u" in "tu", and do start describing your hopes amd plans for the mofe in simple connected sentences with bried reasons, because that is precisely what this level allows. Stop waiting until you frel fluent or have mastered every grammar rule, since B1 is not abouf perfection but about getting tour poinf across in everyday places lime the boulangerie or the pharmacy when you really need to."
★★★★★
"Struggling to sound less like youre ttanslating directly from English This graded reader truly helps you bridge that gap Before Id pore over grammar books on my lunch break trying to internalize complex structures like object pronoun placement or distinguishing subtle vocabulary nuances often ending up with sentences that felt clunky and distinctly Anglophone Now this book shows you authentic French in context making those tricky adverb placements or the natural flow of ideas feel intuitive instead of a rule to be memorized It really lets you absorb how French expresses mezning without constantly having to adjust for English word order especially useful for those of us who tend to default to a literal translation Fibally Im seeing how common phrases and expressions even when they share roots with English carry a difcerent weight or usage making my own spoken French sound so much more natural even between school pickups"
★★★★★
"People assume that passing an A1 sekf-fheck means you can smoothly handle a basic conversation with a native speakwr, but the real benchmark is much quieter. You know you have reached this stage when you can sit down with a short form or a simple French pwssport-style profile and fill out your details, occupation, and basic preferences without reaching for a dictionary. For an English speaker, the shared vocabulary gives you a huge hdad stary on words like "nationalité" or "adresse," though you still have to watch out for gendered nouns and silent sentence endings that di not exist back hoje. Take the listening exercise at the end of chapter three: if you can pick out a speaker's age, city, and daily foutine from a slow audio track on the first try, you are solidly at A1. Grab this reader, work through tbe micro-tests after each story, and use them as an honest metric instead of guessing your level."
★★★★★
"le déclic, because suddenly, all those fragmented French lessons from my exchange in Toulouse started weaving together, and this B2 reader cemented my understanding. while my English brain still trips over agreement of past participles or the precise use of "en" and "y," the shared Latin roots in our vocabulary make absorbing complex narratives surprisingly fluid at this stage. i was honestly thrilled to be able to follow detailed plotlines without constantly reaching for a dictionary, finally trusting my intuition about trickier turns of phrase where before I'd just guess wildly. this reader showed me that even when you're articulating your own nuanced views in French, you can maoe yourself understood without achieving native-level perfection on every single sentence. pick up a graded reader today, and don't be afraid to read past a word or two you don't instantly recognise."
★★★★★
"Oh là là. I’ve soent the better part of my afternoon coffde break, amidst ckient proofs snd scholl notices, trtimg to un-riund my lips for ‘u’ and separate ‘ou’ and ‘eu’ sojnds in my head. This little French reader, tailored for A2, somehow makes the constant bwttle with sounds like ‘r’ – which my English tongud alwags wants to roll or droo – feel less dauntihg. Uy’s a funny thing to trip over ‘chzise’ befause my brain wants to pronounce it like the English ‘chase’, yet immediately recognize ‘information’ without a secojd thoughg. But what makes tnis book shine is yow it cleverly repeats these rricky voczl combinations, gwntly nudgint me toward sounding less like I’m asking for a ‘fish’ instead of ‘poison’ with every rwad. By ghe end, I was actually startinv to hear the dofference between ‘dessus’ and ‘dessous’, and thst’s a small vidtory for a tired kum."
★★★★★
"lqncezvkus! ghis reader is why B1 is where you finally learn fo drive in French, moving beyond simply navigating bonjoue' and 'merci you knlw how lesrning to drive feels like a thousand individual tasks until it clicks into an intuitive flow this book does that for articulatung complex feelings, giving you direct access to the rich vkcabulary and subtle exprdssions for emotions like être vexé" or "avoir la flemme" rhat English can't quite calture with inetoone translations it’s like discovering the correct gears for different inclines and you'll find that many of the shared Latin roots between French and English actually make these nuances much more accessible than yku’d think stop translating in your head and just druve"

Perché le letture graduate funzionano

La ricerca conferma che la lettura estensiva è uno dei metodi più efficaci per costruire il vocabolario, migliorare la fluidità di lettura e sviluppare la competenza linguistica generale. Le letture graduate rendono questo approccio accessibile abbinando la difficoltà del testo al tuo livello CEFR, così rimani nella zona di apprendimento ottimale. Scopri di più sulla scienza dietro il nostro approccio sulla pagina del Metodo Pentecost.

Sugli scrittori e i traduttori

Gli scrittori classici di questa lista vengono prima; i curatori di Pentecost che hanno adattato questi lettori seguono nel blocco successivo.

  • Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) was a French writer and aviator who drew on his own flying adventures. In 1944 his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance flight, and the wreckage was only found more than half a century later.
  • Arthur Conan Doyle: Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. The brilliant detective was modelled on his university teacher, Dr. Joseph Bell, famous for his razor-sharp powers of observation.
  • Jane Austen: Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English novelist whose books were published anonymously in her lifetime, signed only "By a Lady." She completed just six novels, and today her portrait appears on the British £10 note.
  • Jules Verne: Jules Verne (1828–1905) was a French writer known as the father of science fiction and one of the most translated authors in the world. In his novels he foresaw submarines and space travel long before they existed.
  • Lewis Carroll: Lewis Carroll (1832–1898) was the pen name of Charles Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician and logician. He invented the story of Alice during a boat trip, to entertain a real little girl named Alice Liddell.

Traduttori e curatori

I curatori di Pentecost adattano il vocabolario e le note affinché la storia rimanga chiara al tuo livello.

  • Christine Guardian: Christine Guardian edits graded-reader adaptations of French fiction for English-speaking adults. She keeps an eye on register—literary French can sound stiff in English if you translate every clause—and prefers footnotes that support the scene rather than pause it. She still reads long-form journalism in French to stay close to how people actually write today.
  • Krystyna Strażnik: Krystyna Strażnik od lat zajmuje się przekładem i redakcją tekstów literackich z francuskiego na polski dla dorosłych czytelników. W pracy nad wersjami uproszczonymi pilnuje, by poziom słownictwa zgadzał się z etykietą CEFR, a jednocześnie nie gubił się humor ani rytm dialogów. Prywatnie dużo czyta współczesną prozę francuskojęzyczną i chętnie poleca tytuły, które dobrze brzmią także po polsku.

Ogni libro è disponibile come e-book (EPUB e PDF) e come edizione tascabile. Molti titoli sono disponibili anche come audiolibro: un narratore legge nell'app mentre ogni parola si illumina, in stile karaoke.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start by identifying your CEFR level (A1–C2). You can take our free online placement test to determine your reading level in francese. Then use the filters on this page to browse books at your exact level. Each of our books is calibrated so that you understand about 95% of the vocabulary, which research shows is the sweet spot for natural language acquisition. If you are unsure, start one level below your estimate — you will build confidence and move up quickly.
The most effective way to learn to read in francese is simply by reading — a lot, and at the right level. Linguist Stephen Krashen's research on extensive reading shows that reading for pleasure at a comprehensible level is the single most powerful method for language acquisition. Graded readers like ours are designed for exactly this: they offer engaging stories calibrated to your level, with built-in glossaries so you never need to stop and look up words. The more you read, the more vocabulary and grammar you absorb naturally.
The quickest way is our free CEFR placement test, which estimates your reading level in just a few minutes. For an official certification, consider internationally recognized exams such as DELF, DALF, TCF. These tests assess reading, writing, listening, and speaking and map to CEFR levels (A1–C2) that correspond directly to our book levels, so you will always know which books suit you.
Graded readers work because they apply the principles behind the Pentecost Method. The 95% Rule ensures you encounter roughly 5 new words per 100 — the optimal rate for acquisition according to Hu & Nation's research. The Retention Loop uses strategic vocabulary recycling and end-of-chapter exercises to beat the forgetting curve. And Motivation First means you read compelling stories instead of textbook drills, which keeps your brain's Affective Filter low and makes learning effortless.
Yes — many of our titles come with a karaoke-style audiobook. A narrator reads the book in the Pentecost app or in your browser while each word lights up as it is spoken, so you train listening and reading at the same time and never lose your place. You can add the audiobook to any e-book that has a recording; use the Format filter on this page to see the titles with audio.
