Hi-Lo books can motivate struggling
readers by providing books on topics that are engaging that are also targeted
toward their independent reading level. Hi-Lo books can help build reading
fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge, and interest in reading. They
also have the advantage of looking like chapter books and are written about
interesting topics with easy readability.
What a great find these books have been
for our family! Many companies offer Hi-Lo books for struggling readers.
Here are some of our favorites:
With large print, an illustration on
every other page and excellent classic stories such as Treasure Island, Oliver
Twist, Anne of Green Gables and Pride and Prejudice, our kids eat these books
up. Written at approximately a 2-3rd grade level.
Similar to the Great Illustrated
Classics.
The website allows you to browse books by
reading level or subject/genre. In addition, High Noon Books offers many
resources for teaching kids with reading struggles.
HIP Books publishes novels that are
written, edited and designed for struggling and reluctant readers from age 8 to
18.
Perfection Learning carries Hi-Lo books
and resources for teachers.
High interest books with delightful story
lines and controlled vocabulary.
