TitleGraded Readers for Students of English
Body
A recent request on the TESL listserv for graded reader suggestions for English learners recieved many recommendations. Here are several of them; look for more of these in the coming weeks.

Students in Fluency First ESL courses at CCNY enjoyed reading novels and seeing movie versions of them, including Flowers for Algernon (movie "Charlie"), The Karate Kid, Rebecca, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Malcolm X, The Godfather, Iron and Silk, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Outbreak.

readinga-z.com offers about 30 free leveled readers. I've been a member of readinga-z.com for several years now and am quite happy with the membership.

Starfall.com has very low-level readers, and you can order beautiful colored booklets with little books to assemble at VERY reasonable prices. I think I ordered about 20 booklets (each with about 15 books to assemble) at 50 cents apiece.
