This Step 4 Biography Reader shares the inspiring story of Malala Yousafzai, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Even as a young girl in Pakistan, Malala spoke up about the importance of girls’ education, via speeches and a blog.

Since the Taliban regime was intent on denying girls an education and silencing anyone who disagreed with their laws, this was very dangerous. Malala was shot, but she survived the attack and it did not silence her.

In fact, she spoke at the United Nations on her sixteenth birthday, just nine months after she was shot. Malala’s resolve has only magnified her voice, delivering her message of human rights to millions of people.

Step 4 Readers use challenging vocabulary and short paragraphs to tell exciting stories. For newly independent readers who read simple sentences with confidence.


本書將介紹最年輕的諾貝爾和平獎得獎者─瑪拉拉•尤蘇芙札的勵志故事。身為巴基斯坦的年輕女孩，瑪拉拉透過部落格與演講，為女性教育的重要性發聲。

塔利班(伊斯蘭教的學生)政權一心想否定女孩的受教權，並讓任何對他們的法律有異議者保持緘默，而瑪拉拉所作的事情非常得危險。她被槍擊，但即使如此，她還是存活，並且持續發聲。

16歲生日那天，她在聯合國發表言論，就在9個月過後，她便遭遇槍擊。即便如此，她還是存活，並且持續發聲，不斷地傳送她那關於人權的訊息給好幾百萬人。

《Step 4 Readers》採用較有挑戰性的單字與較短段落述說這精彩的故事，本書適用於剛開始獨立閱讀並能夠閱讀簡易句子的讀者。
