Stage 20 Abridged Stories by The Latin Don

Rushing to finish the red book or the blue book? Assemblies and standardized testing eating away at your class time? Want to cover the whole narrative, but pressed for time? If you're like me, it's yes, yes, and yes!

Try these FREE shorter stories for each stage of the red book and the blue book. Same narrative, same grammar & vocabulary, just abridged. (Psssst! -- my mini-dictionaries work here too, same as with the full-length stories.) Get some of your time back!

An idea for differentiation: a shorter story version. (Do you ever teach students whose English is below grade level? I do, and this is part of my solution for engaging them.)

I also use these shorter stories as handy formative quizzes. They're FREE, try them out!

If you would, please, refrain from posting these anywhere online, so we can keep the robot translators at bay. I give students paper copies.

If you like this work, you can buy me a coffee as a gesture, and thank you!
