The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden is a Helbling Red Series graded Reader adapting Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 novel for CEFR A1/A2 learners. The softcover story is about 80 pages and comes with full-colour illustrations, British-English audio in the Helbling Media App, and interactive e-zone activities. Mary Lennox leaves India after becoming an orphan and arrives at her uncle's cold Yorkshire manor. There she finds the locked walled garden, meets Dickon and the robin, and discovers her hidden cousin Colin. In class, the story gives practice with plants, weather, rooms, keys and feelings, plus an 80-word paragraph about a secret place.
