The book appealed to my students because of its fast-moving, coherent plot and relatable characters. Many of the other graded readers I considered for the class had plots that were episodic and disjointed, and it was difficult to follow the development of relationships among the characters. By contrast, The President’s Murderer has a very clear plot line with sustained character development.
Students also appreciated the language in the book. Students reported that unlike other graded readers that they used, The President’s Murderer contained enough new words to help them build their vocabularies without being s overwhelming. Unlike other graded readers that I considered, the language in The President’s Murderer rarely feels contrived; the writing has a simple natural flow and rhythm. Although the students may not have paid much conscious attention to the style, I think that the exposure to naturalistic prose was very beneficial for them as they work to become familiar with living English.
The book’s six chapters are all of similar length, which helps to set a good pace for reading. My classes had discussions and chapter quizzes about every three days. (I am happy to provide these quizzes to interested teachers; please feel free to contact me about this.) Students assumed various roles in contributing to the discussions, which they mentioned as one of their favorite class activities. The themes in the book are universal enough for all of the students to relate to, and they were often able to relate personal experiences to the story.
