From the author of Contos com Nível series, Ana Sousa Martins, in collaboration with co-author Ana Paula Gonçalves and illustrator Sofia Alcântara, comes this new series dedicated to children and young people, which can also be used by learners of other age groups.

Reading is fundamental!
Histórias do Mundo is a collection dedicated to extensive reading for PLE, PLH and PLNM for A1, A2 and B1 levels, which gives protagonism to reading`s role as a strong enhancer of second language acquision. This collection brings us traditional stories from all continentes, celebrating cultural diversity, meticulously rewritten to provide an easy and enriching reading experience.

Who is it for?
This volume was specially developed for learners from level B1 and above. These engaging tales offer a great reading experience for those who want to go a little further in acquiring the Portuguese language.

Reading takes us on a journey!
Each word, expression, and phrase has been carefully selected to ensure that the resulting text provides an easy and, at the same time, surprising reading experience. This book contains traditional tales of universal appeal, written in simplified language, that tell us about distant lands and show us diverse cultures, in a long journey that passes through Asia and Africa, also traversing several European countries. The adapted retelling of the stories does not at any point hinder the natural narrative tone. On the contrary, this volume excels in the introduction of idioms, colloquialisms, and even more diverse sentence structures.

Let`s discover!
- Dialogues in colloquial oral register to help readers assimilate conversational expressions and develop their speaking skills.
- Audio version of the tales, with immediate access through QR codes in the book, so that learners can read and listen to the tales at any time of day and on any mobile device.
- Listening, reading, and vocabulary consolidation exercises, with solutions at the end of the book.
- Difficult words are explained in the margins of the text, often with small original illustrations designed specifically for this collection, to help the reader understand the texts.
- A glossary at the end of the book allows for a quick review of words that still present difficulties for the learner.

Aimed especially at children, Histórias do Mundo will be able to captivate adult audiences too, as it tells stories that cut across all generations.
