The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is a Helbling Blue Series Reader for CEFR B1 learners, adapted by Janet Olearski from F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel. The graded story keeps Nick Carraway's first-person narration while using controlled language for lyceum students. Learners follow Gatsby's Long Island parties, his reunion with Daisy Buchanan and the fatal hit-and-run that leads to the poolside murder and lonely funeral. The book includes reading activities, vocabulary work, exam-style practice, British-English audio through the Helbling Media App and e-zone access. It fits American literature, Jazz Age and "American Dream" lessons in upper-secondary classes.
