"Encouraging readers...one book at a time!" I need to find books for a new student. She is an older but struggling reader in the 6th grade. She looks like a high schooler and is pretty enough to be termed stunning. We clicked right away. However, she has huge deficits in her reading and writing and is currently at a 2nd to 3rd grade level in both. I have few HI/Lo books that are adequate and I want to help her feel more confident quickly as she is just beginning middle school. We are a New England coastal suburban school mostly Caucasian. My new student is one of only a handful of black/African American students. What book's would you suggest? I have the Buford series but it does not reflect this child's environment. Thank you
