O Que Faz um Bom Leitor Graduado B1?

No nível B1 (Intermediate), os aprendentes can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar topics. Os nossos leitores graduados para este nível CEFR usam vocabulário controlado e estruturas de frases claras para que possa seguir a história confortavelmente enquanto absorve novas palavras no contexto — o princípio central do input compreensível. Cada livro inclui um glossário ao lado do texto com traduções, o que significa que lê sem interrupções. Cada capítulo termina com exercícios de vocabulário e compreensão, e os códigos QR levam-no a flashcards online e jogos de correspondência construídos com base na repetição espaçada. Os leitores graduados B1 estão disponíveis em várias línguas, em formatos ebook e livro em papel.

Formatos: e-book, capa mole e superaudiolivro

As nossas leituras graduadas são publicadas em vários formatos. O texto, o nível CEFR e o glossário são iguais em todos — só muda a forma de ler. Escolha o que combina com o seu dia: o e-book no telefone a caminho do trabalho, papel e lápis à secretária ou o superaudiolivro quando quiser ler e ouvir ao mesmo tempo.

E-book (EPUB e PDF). Descarrega os dois ficheiros logo após a compra e lê num leitor de e-books, no telefone, no tablet ou no computador. As palavras difíceis têm a tradução numa nota que se abre com um toque: um toque e volta à história, sem procurar no dicionário. Cada capítulo termina com exercícios de vocabulário, e um link leva a exercícios gratuitos online com as mesmas palavras.

Capa mole. Um livro clássico de capa mole, impresso a pedido e enviado pelo correio. O glossário está na margem, mesmo ao lado da palavra que explica, por isso nunca precisa de virar a página. Os capítulos terminam com palavras cruzadas e exercícios de vocabulário, e os códigos QR levam-no, pelo telefone, aos exercícios online. Uma boa escolha se gosta de escrever nos livros ou quer fazer uma pausa do digital.

Formatos nesta lista (58 livros): E-book: 58 · Capa mole: 56 · Superaudiolivro: 12.

O superaudiolivro: ler, ouvir e consultar o significado das palavras ao mesmo tempo

Um superaudiolivro é um audiolivro em formato karaoke. Um narrador lê o livro em voz alta enquanto tem à sua frente o mesmo texto, por onde um marcador avança palavra por palavra. Sabe sempre qual é a palavra que ouve, por isso nunca se perde — mesmo quando o narrador fala mais depressa do que lê. Os ouvidos mostram aos olhos como soa uma palavra escrita, os olhos mostram aos ouvidos como se escreve o que ouvem — e os dois caminhos fixam as mesmas palavras ao mesmo tempo.

A diferença nota-se sobretudo quando surge uma palavra desconhecida. Num audiolivro comum, desaparece num segundo; num superaudiolivro, fica ao seu alcance: as palavras do glossário estão marcadas a cor e basta manter uma pressionada para ver a tradução na sua língua. Confirma o significado, continua a ouvir e não perde o fio à meada. Com um controlo deslizante, ajusta a velocidade do narrador entre 0,5× e 1,5×: no início abranda para apanhar cada sílaba e, com o tempo, acelera até ao ritmo natural da fala. As palavras que encontra durante a leitura voltam depois em exercícios curtos na aplicação, como umas minipalavras cruzadas ou formar uma palavra a partir das letras.

Ler enquanto se ouve tem bom apoio na investigação. Num programa canadiano descrito por Lightbown e colegas (2002), crianças que durante três anos aprenderam inglês apenas desta forma — lendo livros enquanto ouviam as respetivas gravações — compreendiam a língua tão bem ou melhor do que os colegas com aulas tradicionais. Waring e Takaki (2003) mostraram que é preciso encontrar uma palavra pelo menos oito vezes para ter sequer 50% de probabilidade de a reconhecer três meses depois. Voltar a ouvir um capítulo dá-lhe exatamente esses encontros extra com as mesmas palavras, sem precisar de um texto novo.

Nos níveis A1 e A2, o superaudiolivro ajuda a ligar a ortografia à pronúncia — o que é especialmente útil em línguas que não se leem como se escrevem ou que usam outro alfabeto. Em B1 e B2, acompanha-o ao ritmo da fala real, para que se habitue a ouvir com fluência e deixe de parar a cada frase. Aos leitores avançados, o narrador muitas vezes não faz falta — por isso decide sempre quando o ligar e quando ler em silêncio.

O superaudiolivro funciona na aplicação Pentecost ou no navegador, no telefone, no tablet e no computador. Pode juntá-lo a um e-book: na página do livro, marque «Adicionar o audiolivro» no cartão do e-book; se já tiver o e-book, pode comprar a gravação à parte. Com o acesso ilimitado, ouve sem limite todos os superaudiolivros gravados e, todos os meses, pode desbloquear a gravação de um livro que ainda não a tem — é gravada para si e a aplicação avisa quando estiver pronta. O filtro Audiolivro mostra os títulos com gravação, e pode ouvir uma amostra gratuita sem criar conta.

"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."

Sobre os escritores e tradutores

Os escritores clássicos desta lista vêm primeiro; os editores da Pentecost que adaptaram estes leitores seguem no bloco seguinte.

  • 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.
  • George Orwell: George Orwell (1903–1950) was the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, an English writer who fought in the Spanish Civil War. He coined terms such as "Big Brother" and "Newspeak," and his name gave us the adjective "Orwellian."
  • 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.
  • Louisa May Alcott: Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) was an American writer who grew up among the Transcendentalists — Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were family friends. She served as a nurse during the Civil War and, before her fame, published sensational thrillers under the male pen name A. M. Barnard.
  • Lucy Maud Montgomery: Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was a Canadian writer from Prince Edward Island who set her novels in the landscapes of her childhood. Thanks to Anne of Green Gables, the island became a place of pilgrimage for readers from around the world.

Tradutores e editores

Os editores da Pentecost adaptam o vocabulário e as notas para que a história se mantenha clara no seu nível.

  • Angela Borderkeeper: Angela Borderkeeper adapts German-language stories for English readers who are building vocabulary through extensive reading. She balances literal clarity with readable English, especially where German stacks nouns or uses modal particles that do not map neatly. Her side notes focus on collocations learners will meet again in real newspapers and podcasts.
  • Aniela Pogranicznik: Aniela Pogranicznik przygotowuje polskie opracowania tekstów niemieckich w serii dla samouków. Zwraca uwagę na to, by zdania były krótkie tam, gdzie trzeba, ale żeby nie straciły naturalnego szyku — szczególnie w scenach dialogowych. Często wraca do swoich notatek z kursów dla nauczycieli, gdy układa glosariusze i przypisy do trudniejszych zwrotów.
  • Anne Frank: Anne Frank edits English support text for Dutch originals in the series. She is careful with false friends between Dutch and English and flags them early in the glossary. When a joke depends on word order, she looks for an English equivalent that keeps the beat of the scene instead of explaining the punchline away.
  • Catherine Thief: Catherine Thief edits English support layers for Portuguese originals, comparing European and Brazilian variants when the source mixes them. She prefers one clear editorial choice per title rather than hedging in every footnote. She reads aloud to catch phrasing that still sounds like translationese.
  • 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.
  • Clara Fieldlove: Clara Fieldlove edits English-language scaffolding around Spanish narratives for the extensive-reading list. She steers clear of over-literal cognates that mislead beginners and prefers short glosses tied to the immediate context. She has a soft spot for dialogue-heavy chapters where rhythm matters as much as vocabulary.
  • Edwina Finbow: Edwina Finbow edits English-facing material for Icelandic fiction in the graded-reader programme. Icelandic inflection and compound formation get one clear gloss at first occurrence, then lighter reminders. She likes crime and family drama where everyday vocabulary does most of the storytelling work.
  • Grace Earthland: Grace Earthland prepares English commentary for Norwegian texts in the graded-reader programme. Norwegian’s compact clauses can read abrupt in English; she smooths the seams while keeping the emotional temperature of the scene. She coordinates closely with whoever writes the chapter exercises so examples match the chapter’s new items.
  • Greta Thunderhill: Greta Thunderhill adapts Swedish fiction for English-speaking learners using the Pentecost graded format. She keeps an eye on compound words that look long but are common in Swedish, and explains them once where they recur. She likes endings where the payoff is emotional rather than lexical—those need the lightest touch in the notes.
  • Inga Clay: Inga Clay prepares English-facing materials for Danish fiction in the graded-reader line. Danish often drops subjects; she makes sure the English scaffolding still feels natural while the original stays visible on the facing page or in the margin notes. She enjoys working on small-town settings where everyday vocabulary carries most of the plot.
  • Katarzyna Złodziej: Katarzyna Złodziej przygotowuje polskie teksty towarzyszące portugalskojęzycznej beletrystyce w serii na różne poziomy CEFR. Bacznie rozróżnia wariant europejski i brazylijski, gdy w oryginale ma to znaczenie. W pracy redakcyjnej woli jedną jasną decyzję niż pięć kompromisów, które rozmywają głos narratora.
  • Klara Polanowicz: Klara Polanowicz tłumaczy i upraszcza hiszpańskojęzyczne narracje dla polskich czytelników w serii lektur gradowanych. Często pracuje nad rejestrem: hiszpański z Ameryki Łacińskiej i z Półwyspu wymaga innych decyzji po polsku. W przypisach stawia na krótkość i kontekst, żeby słownik nie zasłaniał fabuły.
  • 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.
  • Małgorzata Strzecharz: Małgorzata Strzecharz redaguje polskie wersje uproszczonych lektur do nauki angielskiego — od poziomów początkowych po średniozaawansowane. Łączy doświadczenie szkolne z pracą przy materiałach do czytania ekstensywnego: ważne jest dla niej, żeby bohaterowie nie brzmieli jak sztucznie uproszczone manekiny. Po godzinach i tak sięga po anglojęzyczne kryminały, bo lubi sprawdzać, jak brzmi żywy, współczesny idiom.
  • Margarete Reetdachdeckerin: Margarete Reetdachdeckerin verantwortet die deutsche Bearbeitung begleitender Texte zu englischsprachigen Lektüren der gestuften Reihe. Sie erklärt Phrasal verbs und idiomatische Kurzformen so, dass sie im Kapitel wiedererkennbar werden, ohne dass jede Seite zur Grammatiktafel wird. Sie liest laut, wenn ein Dialog noch nach Übungsbuch klingt.
  • Margherita Tettaiola: Margherita Tettaiola scrive e rivede testi in inglese con un occhio al lettore che passa dalle scuole superiori a esigenze professionali. Si occupa soprattutto di rendere le sfumature colloquiali comprensibili, senza cadere in calchi che suonano finti agli nativi. I glossari che prepara privilegiano le collocazioni, quelle combinazioni di parole che fanno suonare naturale una frase. Quando introduce un autore, preferisce poche biografie fattuali e un contesto culturale che renda plausibili le scelte stilistiche.
  • Mary Guide: Mary Guide edits English-facing material for Japanese originals in the series. She explains honorifics and sentence-final particles in plain English without turning every line into a lecture. She still listens to casual Japanese podcasts to keep colloquial markers feeling current in the notes.
  • Pauline Bird: Pauline Bird adapts Chinese-language fiction for English readers in the graded-reader line. She helps decide when to gloss a measure word, a place name, or a four-character idiom, and when context can carry the load. She likes contemporary urban settings because they recycle high-frequency vocabulary in natural ways.
  • 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.
  • Sophie Stay-Maggot: Sophie Stay-Maggot works on English notes for Russian fiction in the graded series. She balances literary archaism with the labelled CEFR level, sometimes marking a form as “recognition only” so readers are not asked to produce it too early. She pays extra attention to names, patronymics, and diminutives that carry social information.
  • Zofia Postojska-Czerwień: Zofia Postojska-Czerwień redaguje polskie wersje rosyjskojęzycznych tekstów w serii dla samouków. Dobrze czuje różnice między współczesnym idiomem a archaizmem literackim i stara się nie mieszać ich w jednym poziomie trudności bez sygnału dla czytelnika. Lubi pracę nad dialogiem: rosyjski potrafi być bardzo bezpośredni, a polski wymaga czasem innego balansu grzecznościowego.
  • Мария Гибкая: Мария Гибкая работает с польскими падежными цепочками так, чтобы они подкрепляли сюжет, а не отвлекали от него. В сносках — минимальный парадигматический набор и один-два примера; задания строго на формы, встреченные в тексте. Перед печатью она сверяет падежные подсказки с фактическими формами в тексте, чтобы не осталось «висячих» ссылок на несуществующие окончания.

Cada livro está disponível como ebook (EPUB e PDF) e em papel. Muitos títulos também como audiolivro: um narrador lê no aplicativo enquanto cada palavra se acende, como no karaokê.
