The Prince and the Pauper Pontes Versions – Lexile Text Measures

NEW PRODUCTS: Parallel Texts for Classic Short Stories

Are you intersted in trying out a parallel text without committing to a whole novel? You’re in luck! In addition to continuing to develop our bridge and parallel text versions of Classic novels, we have been working on developing parallel texts for Classic short stories. They have been added to our product page. (Check out our previous blog post outlining methods for reading a parallel text.)
