hi/lo books
Does anyone on here have experience with readers’ advisory for low-literacy adults? I had a man come in with his son a couple months ago and ask for adventure books written at a fourth-grade reading level for himself.
We’ve been closed or operating on a restricted basis since then, but the question hasn’t left me, and last week I read SLJ’s “Never a Dull Moment: Body Piercing? Extreme Sports? Teen Pregnancy? Welcome to the Action-Packed World of Hi/Lo Books” with some interest.
We already have in our YA collection some books from Orca Soundings, an imprint the author recommends. Would these be a good match for some of our urban, low-literacy adult readers? I’ve also started a pathfinder of suggestions on GoogleDocs, but I’m unsure if I’m on the right track.
Advice?
