[ISLMA-Share] low level that don't look it

Wed Feb 28 12:57:55 CST 2018

I have had success with Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins for lower middle school readers. It is a great story and doesn’t feel like a “little kid book.” Here is the information from Follett:

·         When eleven-year-old Gregor and his two-year-old sister are pulled into a strange underground world, they trigger an epic battle involving humans, bats, rats, cockroaches, and spiders while on a quest foretold by ancient prophecy.
·
·         Interest Level: 3-6
·         Reading Level: 5.0
·         ATOS Book Level: 4.8
·         AR Interest Level: MG
·         AR Points: 8
·         AR Quiz: 71754EN
·         Reading Counts Level: 4.9
·         Reading Counts Points: 14
·         Lexile: 690L
·         Guided Reading Level: V
·         Fountas & Pinnell: V

The heights series is also very good and looking older but lower lexile level. There are about 15 in the set and can range from 1.5-3(?). Our older ELL students like them.

I am at a junior high (6-8) and we need some books at a level as low as 3rd grade for some small, classroom bookclubs, but kids are embarrassed to read books that look that low. I was thinking Jake Maddox books would be good. I also thought Dolphin Adventure, Hachiko Waits, and Night of the Twisters, but although they are short, their levels are around 5th grade. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
