High Interest-Low Reading Level Books
for Reluctant Readers
Thought Co:
1.09.2020 by Elizabeth Kennedy
It's been proven that kids reading below
grade level are more likely to read a book that's at their reading level as
well as their interest level. If your young children or teens are reluctant
readers, they may be frustrated because they read below grade level and can’t
find books that interest them. If this is the case, the answer to the dilemma
might be "hi-lo books" (“hi” stands for “high interest,” “lo” stands
for “low readability,” "low vocabulary," or "lower reading
level") specifically geared to encourage reading. Hi-lo books and reading
lists focus on titles that engage readers' interest level but are written at a
lower reading level.
