History: the Queen of Sciences, because everything has a history
Toddworld
Reading is the gateway to the future. Those who read, succeed. Here are some lists for various interests and for students. I highly recommend these books to improve reading and broaden your horizons.
01 /
Todd's Current Favorite Books
Caveat: These are books I consider my favorites over the years and I highly recommend them.
02 /
Suggested Reading for Lower Level English
Caveat: Dictionaries will still be necessary, but these are books with short simple sentences and basic dialogue. They also deal with issues to make a reader think and discuss the book. I also recommend that the parents read the book as well to encourage progress and to talk about the book with their child.

Books for Intermediate Readers

More Advanced Readers

Popular Mystery Books
Caveat: These books, of course, are murder mysteries; I have not included what are considered some of the best in history because of very adult content, but these should be safe for young adults
Popular Science Fiction
06 /
Caveat: I have listed popular science fiction books above, but here are some other notable works in the genre. Be aware that sometimes these books use technical language and humor that might not translate well. Some of these are older books, so the style is different, which might cause some difficulties.
Popular Fantasy
07/
Caveat: I have also listed popular fantasy books above, but here are some other notable works in the genre. Also, warning that some of these books have very descriptive vocabulary that might be a challenge.
Horror Genre
08 /
Caveat: These books may deal with some mature themes given the nature of the genre. I have included some classics here, simple because they are on every list, but not particularly scary.
Important Literature for school
09 /
Caveat: Parents: the books listed below are standard reading in most High Schools in America. If your student can read these books in English, that is preferable, but I also understand the importance of making sure your student has the familiarity with these books as any American student. So, if Chinese translations are available, I think it would be acceptable, simply so that your student is not behind other students. I will warn you, that some of these books have mature content and language, but is part of many curricula in America. Chinese editions may actually edit these, so be aware.
