Non-Fiction High Interest Low Readability Books!

Help me give my students high interest, low readability non fiction books to add to our classroom library collection.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Erb's classroom raised $228

My Project

I have a small collection of non-fiction books in the classroom library; however, it seems most of the books I have are fiction. I would like to even out the collection of books a little more to include more non-fiction books that are easy for the students to read. I feel that National Geographic books are ones filled with facts but they are able to be accessed by middle school students. They can pick up the book and learn from it without it seeming like a textbook. The books are also more on their reading levels which allows them to access the book on their own.
