ESL YES Blog
Audio (Normal & Slow Speeds), Grade Level

February 22, 2018: "500 Short Stories for Beginner-Intermediate," Vols. 1 and 2, for only 99 cents each! Buy both e‐books (1,000 short stories, iPhone and Android) at Amazon-Kindle. All 1,000 stories are also right here at eslyes at Link 10.

I hope you enjoy these "occasional" blogs. They are pretty much "speed writing" off the top of my head. Following each title is the Flesch‐Kincaid Grade Level of the story. Following each story is the Grade Level (3.2 to 7.6) and the Word Count (125 words to 400). For Grade Level, see Wikipedia or FREE Readability Formulas, or Readability‐Score).
