Levels
Where each book sits
Levels are defined by two hard numbers: how many different words a story may use, and how long it may be. Both are counted and checked before publication. This is the same table printed at the front of every book.
| Level | Unique words | Story word count | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 300–400 | 750–1,000 | Published — CEFR A1–A2 |
| Beginner Plus | 500–600 | 1,000–1,500 | In preparation |
| Intermediate | 700–800 | 2,500–3,000 | Planned |
| Intermediate Plus | 1,000–1,200 | 4,000–5,000 | Planned |
| Advanced | 1,500–2,000 | 6,000–7,000 | Planned |
| Advanced Plus | 2,000+ | 8,000+ | Planned |
The series
Six collections, Genesis to Revelation
Thirty-six stories in six volumes. Published at a deliberate pace — a slow, complete series is worth more to a teacher than a fast, abandoned one.
| Collection | Theme | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ORIGINS — Six Stories That Shaped the World | Early Genesis | Published |
| 2 | PROMISE — Six Stories of Faith and Family | The patriarchs | In preparation |
| 3 | EXODUS — Six Stories of Freedom | Exodus and the Law | Planned |
| 4 | KINGDOM — Six Stories of Kings and Courage | Judges and Kings | Planned |
| 5 | VOICES — Six Stories of Prophets and Exile | Prophets and Exile | Planned |
| 6 | THE MESSIAH — Six Stories from the Gospels to Revelation | New Testament | Planned |
Dates are not promised. Each collection is released when it meets the same standard as the last.
