They can be read aloud. They present all 361 stories of The Red Well‑Read Reader in the 14 built‑in Flag Languages. They are intended for advanced students who benefit from comparing languages directly. To keep attention on the text, the stories do not include illustrations. In English, the rhyming word appears in red; in all other languages, the text is entirely black because languages cannot be transcribed word for word. Early exposure to foreign languages strengthens neurological mapping in young readers, making these stories especially valuable. Story 1 is shown here as an example to use.

Story 1: Nabbed​

Now please bring me my bill, or call it a tab if you will. But let's not confab, or in other words gab,  for I must hasten back to my lab.”

​

As his waitress left to tally his tab, McNabb continued to blab, saying something about taking a stab, at not paying his tab.

​

Then he fled outside and quickly grabbed a cab. But thanks to the police he was soon nabbed, and a criminal tabbed. From then on, his life was dreary and drab.​
