Book Review: Stories for Young Readers

title: Stories for Young Readers (1 and 2)
rating: ★★★★★

These are the best books ever! Stories For Young Readers, Books 1 and 2. I'll use them for upper elementary kids, junior high, and beginner adults. Despite their appearance (rather boring covers) they're practically perfect.
Each chapter has a simple story, usually about teenagers, followed by various questions, quizzes, and games, which focus on grammar and vocabulary. Some of the stories are downright bizarre. For example, the amusing story about the girl who puts fish in her shoes. These are not your average junior high text books, so they can keep the interest of teenage students.
Also the illustrations are great. The books include both American and British English (and young people from around the world). The English used is casual, correct, and up to date- the opposite of most school text books. Useful! Yah~
