Leveled books are an excellent solution for bilingual children learning to read in Polish.

Reading in Polish is often very difficult for children due to digraphs, embellishments, and the specific nature of the Polish language, which is not easy. Even children who enjoy reading in English struggle with reading in Polish. That's why it's so important to regularly reach for Polish books every day, for pleasure.

To encourage a child to read, gradually increase the difficulty level and adapt the texts to the child's language level.

The "Czytam sobie" (I'm Reading Myself) series is recommended for bilingual children who are familiar with leveled reading from English school. The level adapted to the child's reading ability helps develop reading courage, and reading a single, short book in Polish is a source of pride.

Created by leading Polish authors and illustrators, consulted and recommended by experts, the series gains parents' trust and brings joy to children. It consists of three basic levels and an additional, more challenging one for children who have already mastered reading in Polish.

Level 1 is a great way to start learning to read. It contains little text, with simple sentences free of digraphs and embellishments.

Level 2 contains longer, complex sentences with elements of dialogue and syllabication exercises.

Level 3 is a great way to consolidate reading skills. Engaging stories written in longer and more complex sentences, using all Polish sounds. A glossary of more difficult words is included at the end of the book.

"Czym z bakcylem" (I Read with a Bug) is the last, most challenging level, recommended for master readers. These books are for young readers who have mastered the third level of our renowned series, have been bitten by the reading bug, and refuse to quit.
