Intermediate Reading on the Web?
Can anyone tell me some web sites where I might find reading material suitable for comprehension at an intermediate level? Most stuff is too difficult. Perhaps news in a simplified form? Any suggestions, pse?
These are some sites I suggest to my students. (They are adults, but some of these, although intended for junior high or high school kids, are still interesting for adults.):
Planet Yak http://216.247.63.129/index.htm
News Stories http://www.literacynet.org/cnnsf/week.html
Ghost in the Museum (a choose-your-own-ending story) http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/3941/ghost1.html
Nasreddin Stories http://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/ ... /index.htm

and finally, if you want to check out my website, I have some short readings I use for my class.

If anyone else has any to add, I'm always looking for more.

Thanks for your prompt response.
All the links seem promising - and I enjoyed reading the items from your own website.
My students are all French and mostly pensioners - I think the item about Liberia might be the one I'll start with. However, I couldn't see any more news items on that site. Do they just put them up one at a time?
Perhaps someone else will come up with more suggestions.
Thanks again.

The other day someone told me about the following:-
www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi
The texts are intended for children but the language is *not* childish.
I find the historical ones VG - there's one about the construction of the Empire State Building. Another good point is that they are short.
