Eleventh grade struggling readers need a text that is both accessible and exciting to read: "Kindred" by Octavia Butler fulfills both! I teach English to Juniors in a high-need community in New Jersey, where education is often put on the back burner. At my school sports receive the bulk of the funding. The students in my class were once freshman in the Read 180 program, and are still struggling readers. This novel has a Lexile level of 600, which makes it accessible to students with lower reading levels, in turn building their confidence.
