Graded reader levels - Hinsudesu - 2015-03-09
Hi
I'm working my way through the graded readers by tadoku.org and ASK Books ( http://tadoku.org/learners/book_ja and http://www.ask-books.com/tadoku/jp/ ). I'm currently doing level 4 and there isn't any booklets at level 5 (or rather, there is only 1). Is there anyone who has experience with these series and who can point to any other reading material, that would be equal to level 4 / 5 within the grading system?
In general i find extensive reading to be quite nice and i would like to continue - but i would just like to avoid buying a lot of books, that wouldn't fit my level
Thanks for your help!

There are literally hundreds of short stories here, mostly aimed at children. But a lot of them are still pretty dark, dealing with ghosts and murder and stuff.

Hmmm... it's back for me now too. Interwebz is a mysterious place.

I'm not sure about the grading levels you're talking about or what they mean, but I've read a lot of children's books that I would assume are towards that level. I highly recommend the ふたごの魔法使い series as the easiest enjoyable series I know - it's aimed at lower grade primary school kids, but it's fun (and sometimes dark and sometimes weird). There are 13 books in the series and I think reading it is one of the most useful things I did for my Japanese.

As far as easy Children's books go roughly the same level as 福娘 I recommend The Magic Tree house series.
