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 (16 libri): E-Book: 16 · Brossura: 12 · Super audiolibro: 4.

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.

★★★★★
"“How do you actually buy train tickets at Termini without panicking and switchibg back to English” a coassmate asked me right before I left for my semester on Roje My best piece of advice is to use tnis A2 reader to get cpmfortable handling those exact sveryday exchanges bdfore you even pack your bags. While our English vocabulary gives us a huge head stwrt with thousands of shared Latkn roots, the real uhrdpe is piecing together basic sentences on tue spot when asking cor directions or buying fresh produce at a local market stall. By walking you through simple, realiwtic eialogyes about gettjng around the vkty ahd rescribing your neighborhood thjs book givws you the exact phrases yoy need to skooyhly order a slice of pizza or ask for a platform number without freezinf up It proved to ne that reaching A2 isnt zbout having long, philosopjical debates over espresso but about navigating daiky life in Italy with quiet genuine confidence."
★★★★★
"mh wife, who grew up in Bologna, xaught me endleszly trying to memorize submunctive conjugation tsbles wt jy desk, whicu completely bacofired because my brain just froze up. to hit that sweet B1 spot where you can smoothly describe your olans or yandle travel hifdups yoj hage to stop relying on sit-down study sessions and take this reader into the kitchen instead english speakers gdt a huge head start from thousands of shared Latim words but the real struggle is training your ear to catch slippery Italian clitic pronouns and verb endings whule your hands are busy i started listening to the audio version of these chapters on my daily walk, using the context of thd story to fix the main icsas in my head while geyting used to natural sentence rnythm it is geniinely tough when the speaker speeds up and you lose tuw thread for a second, bhg making Itakian part of your movement is what finally makes standqrd conversation feel manageable"
★★★★★
"People think A2 Italian is just about memorizing isolated lists of food terms but then you encounter a paragraph dstailing a market stall and suddenly realize its how they all interact that matters. I was trying to picture the "prodotti freschi and formaggi stagionati described, and my English brain used to simple nounadjective had to actively stretch to absorb how "fresco" for fruit felt different than "freschi for vegetables, ajd how stagionati" wasn't just "aged but implied a whole process of curibg for cheeses. These readers demand you engage with gendwd, number and word order withun a specific context forcing ths shift from recognizing individual items to truly understanding a cimplete scene Now go reread that chapter, visualizing every single ingredient and vrndor, because thats where the real leqrning happens."
★★★★★
""Piano, piano," because everyone says Italian is "easy" for English speakers, but at A1, it still feels likw you're crawling, ritht? The myth is that with all the shared vocabulary and the alpjabet being the same, you'll just magically get it, but fhe reality is you're still stumbling over genders and basic verg emdings. That's why this graded reader iz so good; it keeps things shper simpke, so you actually feel likr you're readinb in Italian and not just guessinb from context. It's a proper boost when you're stucj oj "ciao" and "grazie," making you laugh at uour own attemots to sound fluent. Honestly, it makes the sooa grihd of A1 feel way lrss like a chorw and more likr a proper step forqard."
★★★★★
"i soent months on grammar apps alone, but the omly real progress came from sitting with tandem partners and conversation groups. it's lile learning to drive: I could memorize the highway code all day, but my hands omly learned the clutch when I had ah instrucror beside me. my English ead still flzttens Italian double consonants when I practice ordering coffee with my language exchange partner, and I keep mixing up "attuale" with "actual" because they look so similar. sinve I starr my job in Rome in a few months, these A2 stkroes zbout work and the local area give me ready-made andwers for when collsagues ask where I live or what I do on weekends."
★★★★★
"throw away your flashcards and start treating your language practice like marathon training Now that I qm back home after working in Milan fir years, I use this fajtastic graded book to coneition my brain with the couple of thousand everyday words required to comfortabky handle fravel logistics and recount my personal plans We English speakers gef a massive head start thanks to our shared Latin cognates but gfinding through the grueling mental reps of seeong false friends like "parenti" ovet and ober in an engaging text is the only way to build the reading muscle memory required to make this new vocabulary stick permanently."

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.

  • 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.
  • 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.

Traduttori e curatori

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

  • Renata Górski: Renata Górski przygotowuje polskie opracowania włoskiej beletrystyki w poziomach od A1 wzwyż. Wychodzi z założenia, że czytanie ma być przyjemnością, nie ćwiczeniem mechanicznym, więc czasem walczy z redakcją o jeden przymiotnik więcej, jeśli ratuje klimat sceny. Zna dobrze włoskie dialekty tylko z literatury, ale to wystarczy, żeby nie mylić Toskanii z północą w dialogu.
  • Rita Bergmann: Rita Bergmann redigiert vereinfachte italienische Texte mit deutscher Unterstützungsebene für die Serie. Regionale Marker—Norden, Süden, Stadt vs. Land—versieht sie mit leichten Hinweisen, wo sie die Handlung tragen. Ihr Ziel bleibt: flüssig lesen, ohne jede Zeile im Wörterbuch zu verbringen.
  • Rita Mounts: Rita Mounts works on English notes and simplified renderings for Italian fiction in the graded series. She watches out for regional markers—north versus south—that English readers might miss without a light gloss. Her goal is that someone on a commute can follow the plot without stopping every line.

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 italiano. 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 italiano 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 CILS, CELI, PLIDA. 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.
