My students in one class are reading a sort of simplified, easy-English version of the classic children’s novel, Wind in the Willows. It inspired me to go online and find the original, which is available at gutenberg.org.
I really like this story. I’m reading a chapter every week or so in the original, to keep pace with our progress with the simplified version in the class. It allows me to add to their experience of the story, maybe, because I can give details left out of the bowdlerization.
