These books will provide my students engaging, relevant reading material that is that was written just for them. They cover key life skills necessary for newcomers, such as managing money, finding a job, or starting at a new school. Each book is actually two books in one, with a nonfiction side and a fiction side. The nonfiction side teaches students about an important life skills topic, and the fiction side depicts characters negotiating new skills in real-life situations. Many books that are comprehensible to emerging ELL readers are "baby books" that are not written for teenagers. These books are designed with newcomer students in mind and will keep them engaged and excited about reading while building their literacy skills.
