Based on a comprehensive grammar and vocabulary framework
Reading is not just about understanding individual words so each of our books is supported with a comprehensive grammar and vocabulary framework. This underpins learning and we ensure it is carefully matched to each level to optimise the reading experience.
| Level | Headwords | CEFR |
| Starter | 300 | A1 |
| Level 1 | 400 | A1/A2 |
| Level 2 | 600 | A2/B1 |
| Level 3 | 900 | B1 |
| Level 4 | 1300 | B1/B2 |
| Level 5 | 1700 | B2 |
| Level 6 | 2300 | B2/C1 |
A limited number of headwords for each level of reader
For each level of reader, there is a finite number of headwords. As reading confidence develops, so does the number of headwords, as illustrated in the chart. This essential principle underpins the design of all Foxton Readers. Any difficult words which are essential to understanding are highlighted in the text.
Over 700 comprehension, grammar and vocabulary quizzes
Reading progress is supported with comprehension, grammar and vocabulary quizzes for every level of learning.

Innovative read along feature to support pronunciation and vocabulary development for ESL / EAL learners
Our platform comes with a unique read along feature which uses speech recognition that allows automatic narration of the text by native English-speaking people. This is an invaluable tool for empowering ESL / EAL learners to improve their own pronunciation and fluency whilst reading.
A comprehensive suite of LMS tools for managing improvement
The platform provides essential LMS functions to support managers to improve reading performance. As well as full access to student and teacher dashboards, Admins provides an invaluable overview of all aspects of the school’s performance. Managers can compare classes, identify trends and prepare insightful assessment data with ease.
Analytic tools and real-time reporting for teachers and school leaders
All the assessment data is updated constantly so teachers and school leaders can plan and assess the short or long term impact of intervention strategies. They can use the reports to set targets at individual or class level or to report on progress to students, parents or other stakeholders.
Empowering ESL / EAL students to become independent learners
Each student is empowered to take control of their independent learning through our student homework interface. It clearly displays teachers, tasks, deadlines and completion rates. This enables learners to manage their time, prioritise tasks and review historical homework assignments to revisit learning.
Engaging students with reports and self-evaluation tools
Our student-friendly dashboard enables students to track their individual and relative progress and performance in real time. At a glance, they can see their reading time commitment, quiz scores, reading levels and point scores. They can compare their points to class and school averages which can inspire self-evaluation and self-improvement strategies.
An intuitive dashboard empowering teachers to track and enhance reading performance in their classes
The teacher main dashboard contains a wealth of data to support tracking, evaluation and intervention at class and individual learner levels. There is essential data on reading levels, quiz performance and reading time. The latter provides useful information on student commitment levels which can be directly linked to performance. A visual comparison with the school average can be used to motivate the class to improve their relative score.
A comprehensive and targeted homework tracking and assessment system
With our electronic homework system, teachers can easily set customised homework and track submission and performance. Teachers can assign book-focused homework with ease, utilising custom- made resources or their own bespoke materials. Our ready-made resources have been designed to complement the Foxton Readers at every stage of reading: before, during and after. Resources cover all areas of the reading curriculum including comprehension, vocabulary and grammar quizzes. These can be supplemented by the teachers’ own resources, files and activities which can be uploaded with a click.
ELT graded readers platform - any device, anywhere
A cloud-based system ensures that managers, teachers and students can access our platform from any electronic device and from anywhere in the world. This is essential to ensure reading progress is never disrupted by absence, travel or the need for remote learning.
Automated assessment and tracking - saving time and money assets
Our learning management automation provides reliable data and evidence in a moment and a few clicks can complete a thorough investigation of any issues. The ensuing report guarantees that any follow- up intervention is directed in the right area, so learners can be directed back on track with minimal cost and effort.
