This list of over 200 books for retarded readers was compiled to fill the need for books which would be acceptable and interesting to older children reading at primary-grade levels of difficulty. Having been evaluated objectively by the Spache Readability Formula and subjectively by retarded readers in a reading clinic and in classrooms, the books are grouped under the minimum instructional level necessary for reading them. The Spache Readability Score and the age groups to which the book appeals are given for each entry. (LH)
