About ESL News Stories
ESL News Stories is a growing library of level-graded English lessons for learners and teachers. Lessons cover Levels 1-4, approximately CEFR A1-B2, and include reading, audio, activities, and printable classroom material.
Who It’s For
The site is designed for teenagers and adults learning English, whether independently or with a teacher. Lessons can also be used in one-to-one teaching, small groups, and larger classes.
Free and Paid Access
The main lesson experience is free. Visitors can read and listen, complete the online activities, and print a clean classroom version of each lesson without a paid account.
Paid membership removes advertising and includes downloadable standard and styled lesson PDFs for newer interactive lessons. Classic lessons from 2024 and earlier retain their original free PDF worksheets. Current plans and features are listed on the Pricing page.
