I've worked for a long time with primary age children with SEN and often I get asked to work with reluctant readers. The problem from about 7-8+ is that the gap between interest and reading age opens quite sharply, so if you're not on track you end up with books at your level being boring and babyish. The children I work with then get bored, embarrassed etc and won't engage. In the past I've tried to get around this by writing my own stuff for them based on their interests and levels, but recent googling has revealed that this is an actual genre - hi-lo, meaning high interest, low vocabulary. There isn't much out there and it's isn't great TBH, and almost all based in America (I assume from the mention of grades, middle school etc). I guess I'm wondering if anyone else also feels that there's a market for this kind of thing in the uk? Or is it already a thing here and I'm just looking in the wrong places?
