My Project

Students in our program are new to the country and learning English in a high school setting.

The books in this project are designed as high interest for a high school student but low enough reading levels for beginners.

These books can be difficult to find and ordered from special vendors. We want our newcomer students to become lifelong readers! Books like this can help students have choice and find books that are not written for young children.

These books will help students reach their reading goals for the semester and grow their language in the process!

Ms. L. Nicholas Senn High School Grades 9-12
