The main characters of all the works included in the collection of texts are children, and the stories of the selected texts reflect the world of childhood, feelings and everyday experiences.
This publication differs from regular collections of children's fiction in that the texts are rewritten in easy-to-understand language and are intended for readers who have difficulty reading or comprehending text. "Read Easily" can also be useful for children with cognitive difficulties, autism spectrum disorders or intellectual disabilities, bilingual students, and children who are still developing their reading skills.
