Help me give my students easier chapter books to keep them reading and not feel out of place among their classmates.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
These books are easier-to-read chapter books. They contain easy-to-read text, high-interest content, fast-paced plots, and illustrations, these books will boost reading confidence and stamina. These books appear similar enough to what other students are reading, yet provide the support that the struggling reader needs.
The students I work with want to read what their classmates are reading.
Often they spend their silent reading time pretending to read what their peers are reading, which doesn't help them grow as a reader. When I give my students books at their level, the students often feel they are reading baby-ish books.
The books selected here will provide the students with books that they can read without them feeling like everyone in their classroom knows they are struggling readers.
