GEN--Books for Below Grade Level Readers

[Kimberly Ann Seale <kseale@ipro.net>]

I am a new subscriber to the LM Net, and am finding many useful ideas =
for when I become a school library media specialist. I have taught high =
school social studies, but now am working full time in graduate school =
to obtain my certification in Library Science. The other day in one of =
my classes, we were discussing how some middle and high school students =
who read well below grade level often feel embarrassed to read simple =
picture books because all of their friends are reading chapter books. I =
was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions for books that =
are on a simpler reading level, but are about topics that would appeal =
to older students. Thanks for your help.
