I don't know about any easy texts for history. Do you have any higher level books in your room for the advanced students to use for reports or extra credit work? That way they can at least have books at their level too.

There may be some titles of interest in the Oxford Bookworms series, amongst the Starters.

Two titles that might work for you are King Arthur and Robin Hood, both of which are in comic strip format.
