Publisher's Synopsis

Learn English with Matilda! A Penguin Readers book. Discover fifteen famous Roald Dahl adventures, adapted for learners of English aged 7+. Can you read them all?

Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series for learners of English as a foreign language. With simplified text, illustrations and language learning exercises, the print edition also includes instructions to access supporting material online.

In these Penguin Readers editions, Roald Dahl's stories have been aligned to the CEFR framework A1 to A2+, in four levels. Each book is also Lexile measured. The graded readers feature illustrated new words, language activities, and fun games between chapters, encouraging students and teachers to structure learning and make real progress. Every book also includes projects and discussions.

Visit the Penguin Readers website for downloadable quizzes, worksheets and answer keys, as well as accompanying audio and a digital version of the book.

Matilda, a Level 4 Reader, is A2+ in the CEFR framework. The text is made up of sentences with up to three clauses, introducing more complex uses of present perfect simple, passives, phrasal verbs and simple relative clauses. It is well supported by illustrations, which appear regularly.

Matilda's parents do not understand her. Why does Matilda love to read and learn? Why doesn't she want to watch TV? Matilda is a very special little girl. At her new school, Matilda meets the frightening teacher Miss Trunchbull, who is very unkind to the children. But Matilda has a clever plan.
