Rapid Reads
Rapid Read novels are high-interest, low-reading level books for adults. Due to their manageable vocabulary and short sentence structure, Rapid Reads are perfect for English Language Learners, "reluctant" readers, or any adult looking to improve their reading skills. We also invite teachers and tutors of adult learners to check them out! Rapid Reads are shelved in our adult fiction section, and have a "Rapid Reads" logo on the top of the spine.
