| Title | Recommended English Readers for Adult Learners |
| Body | Penguin Graded Readers have adult titles such as Gladiator and Braveheart. You might want to have a look at the novels of John Grisham -- The Firm, The Client, for example. They have exciting plots, but incredibly simple language. In our program the low intermediate students read the Penguin readers, the high-intermediate students read Grisham at the beginning of their semester. Snoke, J. Re: Graded readers for adults. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (3 May 2006). ---- Are you familiar with "Kids Discover" magazine? It's very high-interest, high quality earth/physical science, history/archaeology, engineering/architecture magazine. The photos are spectacular, the articles often have glossed vocabulary, and it is very multi-national in scope. The word "kids" on the cover is written very small and the topic of that magazine issue, for example "Pyramids" takes the focus, so your adult learners will hopefully not be offended by the intended audience. Its on-line readability list shows that the articles are at U.S. 3rd-6th grade basal reading level. In addition, check out the publisher "New Readers Press" which specializes in adult literacy and has high-interest, low-level titles for adults. Spelleri, M. Re: Graded readers for adults.
