ELE students have a wide range of reading levels and interests. Your librarian, Mrs. Hanson, would love to make a personalized list for you. Think about trying different kinds of books:
Nonfiction
Who Was series
Graphic novels
Bone (a classic for younger readers)
Nonfiction
Novels in verse
Lots of white space, short sentences, tend to be dramatic and engaging, large collection in library
Poetry
Accessible and popular poets like Rupi Kaur
