Reading for Intermediate Teen Students
|
|
Hello everyone,
I�d like to ask you some suggestions about books (readers/readings) for Intermediate students. they are between 14 and 19 years old and I am finding it difficult to find one that suits them.
Thanks in advance!

Comics.
Not just super hero comics - there �s a massive variety of comics available on all kinds of subjects and for all kinds of genres. It �s a very engaging story telling medium.

I have used Scholastic graded readers - I can recommend Billy
Elliot (Pre intermediate) the book based on the film, about a young boy
breaking out of the mould to get into the world of ballet. I think
teenagers would find it a good story - especially if they get to see the
whole film afterwards! The readers give lots of extra material at the back of the books for ideas - this book is set in the north of England and there are a couple of pages describing a typical town and the daily lives in that area.
I also use the Penguin Readers and Oxford bookworms graded texts, even the more difficult classic books are made more accessible through this series. The one I use with many adults - and I see no reason why it wouldn �t be good for teenagers - is the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander Mccall Smith, which is set in Botswana, Africa. Three of the 12 originals can be found in the Penguin Readers graded texts at Pre-intermediate and Intermediate levels. Chapters can be read in isolation and lots of questions e.g What will the detective do, what would you do etc can be used, not to mention the potential for discussion on the problems posed by the clients and the country they live in.
