A note on grading. Different grading tools do not always provide the same score for a given text. Some texts score A2 on one tool, and B1 on another, if the scoring criteria are not exactly the same.  Texts graded A2.2 are borderline between A2 and B1.  The texts listed here are all short, not usually longer than 500 words.

Short simple texts for elementary / preliminary English, levels A2 and easy B1
