Lauren,
Another thing that might help is Time for Kids, Scholastic News, or some
other magazine style publication. The articles are engaging and short. Because
these are written with certain grade levels in mind, you could approximate
their grade level for reading and order that grade. You may even be able to
find a teacher who has some extra copies to share with you.
I also include magazines in my classroom that are written for kids. Sports
Illustrated for kids is great for sports lovers. National Geographic has some
good publications, as well. I think about American Girl, Boy's Life, Ranger
Rick, and Zoo Books, too. You may be able to approach the parents and get each
one to donate a subscription to the class. If you have enough variety, you are
certain to find something that would interest the kids.
Have you considered graphic novels? Just be careful of the content if they
come from Japan there is a coding system you will want to pay attention to so
you don't accidentally have books that are graphic in another sense!
