I am the caretaker for my adult intellectually disabled brother (32)(mentally in most places he is about 14-19)and due to lack of care once i left home he hasnt progressed with reading.(id say a solid 4-6th grade level)
he would like to become better but his current level puts him at very kid based books (and the problem with that is mostly just the embarrassment of being that low of a reader and that gets to him) so i guess i am wondering are there any books that are kinda older age range but still not the hardest too read so we can get back into progress.
thank you for reading and any help

I’m going to think on this for a little while.
I think what you’re looking for are hi-lo books. A hi-lo book is a title that is interesting to an adult or teen reader at a comparatively low reading level with simple vocabulary and syntax, short chapters, a slim page count, and gripping storylines. If you Google this you should find some lists of books.
