Target: High Interst & Low readability

[Judy Seck <jseck@LSD.K12.MI.US>]

Hi,

A special ed. teacher came to me with a request to buy high interest & low
readability books. We got some money okayed by the principal.

She is look for a reading level of 1.5 - 2.5 and and interest level 3 - 5.

The teacher brought in a catalog called "Incentives for Learning." In this
catalog are series of books H/L with RL of 1.5-1.8 and interest levels 4 -
12. My concern, I've not heard of this company and do not know of the
quality of these books. I went on their web site. They did not include
examples of the pages of the books.

So, I am asking for two things:

1) has anyone used this company for this type of book? If so, what is your
opinion.

2) Do have a suggestion for another good vendor for this type of book. Those
I've looked at so fat have higher reading levels.

Thanks in advance,
