Level 2B

On this page you will find a summary and practical resources that link to Level 2B.

At Level 2B, learners master many new and complex reading tasks. Text is longer and more complex than at previous levels. It includes more information than needed and is beginning to include more subtle language. The use of abstract vocabulary at this level makes the information less explicit and requires the reader to do some figuring out.
