A Christmas Carol

This is a retelling of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. It has been adapted for adult literacy learners. The sentences are simple, short and with the exception of necessary words, do not contain words with more than two syllables. Each page has a few short sentences with lots of white space, which makes it easier for learners to see, will not fatigue their eyes and will not make the page overwhelming. A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by three ghosts at Christmas time. He is first visited by his old business partner Marley who died. Marley warns Scrooge that three ghosts will visit him and he begs Scrooge to listen to them so he won't spend eternity in chains like he is. Scrooge is visited by the ghosts and is changed by the experience. Instead of being stingy, he becomes generous. Instead of being mean, he becomes kind. Instead of being hated, he becomes loved.
