How to read A2 Sports stories
At A2 you can follow longer scenes and simple dialogue. Pay attention to connector words (and, but, because, then) and past-tense verbs — they carry the plot, and noticing them inside a story works far better than memorizing conjugation tables alone.
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.
