Unlimited Reading for B1: The Intermediate Bridge

Why B1 is the hardest level to find books for

• Kids' books are too childish; native books are too hard.
• Graded readers are often expensive, limited, and boring.
• The "Intermediate Plateau" requires massive input to cross, but content is scarce.
• Traditional B1 materials often lack the engagement of real stories.
