Students can read the original text, use the shorter five-part leveled version, or move between both. The leveled text keeps Emma’s matchmaking, Mr. Elton’s mistake, Frank and Jane’s secret, Box Hill, Harriet’s hopes, and Emma’s final self-knowledge in the main arc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEasy to Use with Mixed-Ability Readers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe discussion questions, vocabulary work, short-answer items, challenge questions, and self-graded quizzes work with both tracks.
