How to read A1 Daily Life stories
At A1, look for high-frequency everyday vocabulary: greetings, family, food, places. These stories repeat core words on purpose, so re-reading the same story two or three times is one of the fastest ways to make beginner vocabulary stick.
Read each story twice: once for the main idea without stopping, then again while tapping the highlighted vocabulary. Finish with the comprehension quiz — if you get most answers right, you are reading at the right level. When a story starts to feel easy, move up a level using the links above.
