Black Beauty – Express Classic Reader (Stage 2)

About the Series / Levels

Express Publishing Classic Readers series is a comprehensive package with a focus on literary expression. The best-loved classics of English and American Literature are brought to life with activities, games and tasks that encourage learners to delve deeper into literature and to use their own creative and artistic skills.

Exposure to different historical and cultural perspectives broadens the students’ horizons and generates an interest in literature. Learners are encouraged to express different points of view and exchange ideas about the historical periods and even artistic influences that shape the story’s setting. The stories are retold in language which is easy to understand and are beautifully illustrated in full color.

The series is designed for use at home as well as in the classroom.

The Activities section of each reader presents chapter-by-chapter exercises to check comprehension and help students analyze issues introduced in the text. Two projects complete the Activities section, focusing on creativity.

Please note that the publisher (Express) has labeled this title as Stage 1. However, since it’s equivalent in level to other publishers’ Stage 2 titles (500-700 headwords), we have labeled it as Stage 2.
