If anyone has additional suggestions for the 5th grade struggling ESL readers, we ask that you respond to the poster directly.

Our August discussion is meant to focus on books you suggest for reluctant, capable readers, not struggling readers. While we realize that struggles with reading does make kids reluctant to read, this month we want to look at books ideas for kids who are capable of reading well
(at or above grade level, if you think in those terms) but simply have little or no desire to read.

Later this fall, we will have a discussion on CCBC-Net that will focus on book ideas for kids who are struggling readers, since we do know there is also much interest in books that meet this need.
