## In short

Step English The Little Prince is a graded English reader from Korea that builds from Level 1 to the original text at Level 5. I read from the easier levels upward and tried the QR audiobook too; the sentences got longer, but the original felt much more manageable by the end. Verdict: recommended for anyone who wants to build English reading comprehension step by step.

## Why I started English reading comprehension with Step English The Little Prince

English-study time is back again just when you think it’s gone~!!!!! The book I’m introducing today is, ta-da!!!!!!! Step English The Little Prince, which I recommend as a way to tackle middle-school English reading comprehension!

What’s the point of only doing speaking and listening... You need to know how to write and read too!!!!!!!! Though honestly, I’m better at writing and reading than speaking and listening.

Since we need to read printed words too, I brought in Step English The Little Prince, which packs everything from the lower levels through the original text into one book.

They say 55.7% of the language used online is English, while Korean accounts for only 0.4%! The gap in information-gathering ability between people who can interpret information in English and those who can’t must be enormous, is what I’m saying.

Step English The Little Prince ranked No. 1 in the books category through Wadiz crowdfunding and has a 5.0 rating.

I recommend it to anyone taking on the challenge of reading English books in the original. It works upward little by little from the bottom, so you can read it without finding it difficult at all!

It’s a graded English reader made for people who find English comprehension difficult, so it’s great for middle- and high-school reading practice and helpful for adults reading English books in the original too!

Rather than simply excerpting and editing key parts of the original, Step English The Little Prince summarizes the original in logical stages, so the number of paragraphs and chapters at each level is nearly the same as in the original!

If you read the Level 1 content and think, “I can manage this,” you’ve come to the right place. This is the book for you! 📚

## From Level 1 to the original-text Level 5

Level 1 is reconstructed with the easiest words and sentences, using present-tense verbs. Level 2 changes the verb tenses to ones closer to the original.

![Explanation of Levels 1 and 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/staged-english-little-prince-reading/staged-english-little-prince-reading-10-czbf6-820.webp)

Level 3 uses words and sentences one step above Level 2.

Level 4 is designed to help you read Level 5, the original text, naturally.

Level 5 is the original text, including words and idioms you may be seeing for the first time in your life!

So I worked through English reading comprehension little by little with these wonderfully packed Levels 1 through 5!

## How the sentences changed as I read through the levels

Level 1, which is in the present tense, was really easy and comfortable to read.

> I see a snake in a book.
> The snake eats an animal.

It’s easy enough for even an elementary-school student to read!

And when you scan the QR code tucked into the book, you can listen to an audiobook like this!!! The clear voice is so sweet that sleep... comes, then runs away!!!

Level 2 changes the verbs from the present tense to the past tense. It adds adjectives too.

> I saw a big snake in a book.
> The snake ate an animal.

Oh... Level 3 is a little hard.

> When I was six years old,
> I saw an excellent picture in a book.
> It was a picture of a snake eating an animal.

Wow, it got considerably longer. “When I was ~ years old” is a sentence I used a ton in interviews, so it was nice to see you here, my friend!! It still uses the past tense, but descriptive touches have been added all over! Nice. We’re gradually getting up to middle- and high-school level.

![Level 3 difficulty English sentences](https://img.superchart.com/images/staged-english-little-prince-reading/staged-english-little-prince-reading-22-mfbv7-900.webp)

Wow... this is genuinely difficult. “Once” has appeared, there it is;

> Once when I was six years old,
> I saw a fantastic picture in a book called
> ‘True stories from Nature’
> about the jungle forest.
> I see a snake in a book.

That short one sentence became that long. But I’m a tough cookie, and I’m a woman strong at English reading comprehension, so I’m still okay for now~! 👌🏻

![Level 4 and Level 5 English sentences](https://img.superchart.com/images/staged-english-little-prince-reading/staged-english-little-prince-reading-23-fd8op-900.webp)

Honestly, once I read this much, I just memorized it;;;; I guess this is why people talk about reading something 10 times. I had it memorized after only four reads..

> Once when I was six years old,
> I saw a magnjfjcent picture in a book,
> called True Stories from Nature,
> about the primeval forest.

The sentence length isn’t hugely different from Level 4, but the vocabulary itself has been upgraded another notch! What even is “primeval”.. I think it was my first time seeing it, so I read while inferring the meaning! As I gradually worked my way up to Level 5, I definitely felt that reading the original became much easier. Step English The Little Prince is light, feels good in the hand, and is great for studying while carrying it around!
