My son and I started at Level 1, using the changing sentences and audiobooks to make the original text feel less daunting. Verdict: a gentle route toward reading the original English text. ## Good to know - **Levels**: Level 1–5 - **Original text**: All 27 chapters of The Little Prince included across five levels without summaries - **Levels 1–2**: Elementary-school vocabulary level - **Level 3**: Middle-school English reading level - **Level 4**: High-school English reading level - **Level 5**: The original English text - **Audio**: Native-speaker audio for each level via the barcode on the cover *Prices as written by the tester on Nov 29, 2025 · not updated automatically* ![Dangye English The Little Prince English reading learning book](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-01-1bnv4-1200.webp) ## How to start English originals without feeling overwhelmed One of the important ways to study English, people say, is to repeatedly read material at a level you can understand. Having studied English for a long time myself, I have really come to feel that this principle is true. From that perspective, when I recently came across Dangye English The Little Prince, I thought, “Ah, this would be a great approach for middle-school or high-school English study.” My middle-school son started at Level 1 too, and the biggest advantage was that he could encounter an English original without pressure. I always worried about difficulty when looking for English originals for middle-school students, but Dangye English lets the book lower its own level for you at the start, so it was much more natural to begin. ![Graded learning structure for middle-school English originals](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-02-3hdpt-900.webp) ![Dangye English The Little Prince book structure](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-03-15jj7-900.webp) There is a phrase the book emphasizes. > Even English beginners can read The Little Prince in the original without a dictionary. It turns out that was not an exaggeration. ## The same original text across Levels 1–5 Dangye English The Little Prince presents the same content at Levels 1–5, changing only the difficulty, which lowers the high entry barrier to reading English originals. - Levels 1–2: only elementary-school vocabulary is needed → even middle-school students can read comfortably - Level 3: difficulty that is just right for middle-school English originals - Level 4: sentence structures and vocabulary become much more challenging, at the level of high-school English originals - Level 5: the original English text included as is ![The Little Prince Level 1 and Level 2 study pages](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-04-1f3qh-900.webp) ![Graded The Little Prince English reading pages](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-05-13mtw-900.webp) What I especially liked was that all 27 chapters of the original The Little Prince are included across the five levels, completely without summaries. In other words, unlike other easy English books where the content is reduced, the content stays the same and only the difficulty changes, so the learning effect felt much greater. You can listen to native-speaker pronunciation of the original English text of The Little Prince through the barcode on the cover, which was helpful for English listening practice too. The audiobooks are also organized by level, so you can listen repeatedly to whichever level suits you. ![Guide to The Little Prince graded audiobooks](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-06-js5r6-900.webp) ## The difference in difficulty by level, after reading with my son I organized the differences I noticed while reading with my son. ### Level 1: Present tense and easy words Short and simple, making it ideal for beginner English readers. My middle-school son read this level really lightly too. > I see a big snake in a book. The snake eats an animal. ### Level 2: Just changing the tense makes the difficulty jump Short and simple, making it ideal for beginner English readers. My middle-school son read this level really lightly too. > I saw a big snake in a book. The snake ate an animal. ### Level 3: Sentences with added scene-setting More explanation of the situation is added, and the sentences become longer. > When I was six years old, I saw an excellent picture in a book… ![Level 3 The Little Prince English sentence](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-07-pr51k-900.webp) ### Level 4: High-school English-original difficulty The sentence structures become much more complex and the vocabulary more advanced. To me, it felt more like literary English reading. > Once when I was six years old, I saw a fantastic picture in a book… ![Level 4 The Little Prince English reading](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-08-14l41-900.webp) ![High-school English-original graded learning](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-09-3cy42-900.webp) ### Level 5: The original The Little Prince text Because it is the official original text, the difficulty rises sharply, but after warming up with Levels 1–4, it was much easier to read. My son said, “I do not think I could have read it at all at first, but it is amazing that I can read it after moving up through the levels.” ![Level 5 The Little Prince original-text study](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-10-18k38-900.webp) ![The Little Prince original English text page](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-11-tcz1q-900.webp) ## The fun of reading the same scene in different English The same content unfolds in English at different levels, so it was fun to see how the same scene changes from level to level. My middle-school son said Levels 1 and 2 were so easy that his sense of pressure about English originals disappeared. He could learn sentence structures naturally. > This is a hat. No, it is a boa constrictor that swallowed an elephant. Reading this scene level by level, from easy English through to the original, made English reading comprehension feel much more three-dimensional. ![Scene comparing English expressions by level](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-12-97li4-900.webp) ## Which level should middle- and high-school students start with? This book is structured for middle-school students encountering English originals for the first time, and for high-school students who want to improve their English reading independently. - Middle-school English study → Levels 1–3 - High-school English study → Levels 3–5 Because the structure leads naturally all the way to the original text, it was just right for building a low-pressure routine of reading English originals. ![Guide to English-original learning levels for middle and high school](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-13-9dov4-900.webp) ## A sentence that stayed with me after reading The Little Prince There is a sentence that stayed with me after reading The Little Prince. > What is essential is invisible to the eye. What is essential is invisible to the eye. It was even nicer because my son and I could study English reading comprehension together and feel this moving sentence again. ![Study of a memorable English sentence from The Little Prince](https://img.superchart.com/images/graded-english-little-prince-reading/graded-english-little-prince-reading-14-p9lxw-900.webp) ## Products - Dangye English The Little Prince English learning book — Dangye English --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@spine-lamp-log/graded-english-little-prince-reading-799f/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
