TARGET: GEN: High interest / VERY Low Vocab books

[Linda Kramer <lkramer@SIBLEY-EAST.K12.MN.US>]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm sure others have encountered similar situations to this:  Trying to =
find a book that is interesting for an older student with very limited =
reading abilities.  Many of the books that are at the right reading level =
are just to "babyish" and not interesting to an older student. =20

My particular situation is with a sixth-grade student with a first-or-secon=
d grade reading ability.  The special education teacher and I have checked =
some sources, including hi-lo lists, but we haven't had a lot of success =
yet.  So, again I appeal to you.  Do you know of any books that might work =
in this situation?

Cam Jansen might work, but may be too hard; Polk Street Kids may be =
another possibility.  Please offer suggestions if you can!  I'll compile =
ideas and post a hit.

Thanks!

Linda
