    Graded reading material for tests

    I'm on the prowl for some reading material that is short, graded and interesting (i.e. relevant) to M2-M4 Thai Kids. Fictional or topical is good, as long as the language isn't too entropic.
    The idea is to use some of it for reading practice and some of it for mid term tests where I can test skim reading skills by asking comprehension comprehensions.

    Any websites good for this? I normally dip into "timeforkids" but am looking to broaden my sources.
    Any advice appreciated folks

    Have you looked at readinga-z.com at all? I have used their material this year (albeit at a lower level), and it has worked very well.
    Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?

    what's up with this thread.


    lox, have you considered writing your own graded material.

    you know what kinds of stuff you're students might find interesting,
    and you know exactly what level they're at. so....

    That's what ended up doing, but I would much rather find existing material if there is any, I already devote way too much of my personal time to the job and I'm sure that others can do a much better job than me at story writing etc.
