Hit: Literacy empowerment

[Susan Beall <sbeall@MLSD.WEDNET.EDU>]

  I had asked about the books from LiteracyEmpowerment.org
http://www.colorcodedbooks.org/lef/index.html
I had many requests for a hit on this topic but got  just this one
response:

I ordered the books for the first time last year.  They are okay,but
not great.  I gave them away as part of a kick off to summer reading
program.  At the kindergarten level I would order up one grade level.
I was glad that I ordered extra because some of the titles were quite
old.  The one I remember was 'Pele' and what student knows who that
was.  There was a good combination of fiction and nonfiction. It is an
easy way to order by grade level without having to spend a lot of time
with selection.  If you are looking for free books to give to students
and not concerned about quality literature it was worth the price.
