I'm looking for something along the style of those old readers from year one, in japanese and online, preferably with grade two kanji, for me to practice reading and 'immerse' myself in, I'd really just like anything to practice my knowledge of japanese, I've been studying for three monthes, and already I'm up to beginning grade three, but I really need to refine grades one and two, as a matter of fact I was planning to write a short story in japanese to practice, but I really would like some short stories, I don't care how bland it is, I don't care if its '毎朝私はおきる' or '毎日僕は学校に歩く'　I'm actually desperate for this, please please please!

- Graded Japanese Readers: http://whiterabbitpress.com/books-magazi...aders.html

- 10分で読めるお話, 10分で読める伝記, 10分で読める名作, 10分で読める物語 -- these are series of "10-minute stories" that each come with an attached grade level. Because they are for native speakers, they may include a wider range of vocabulary than you get as a language learner, but the kanji at least would be easy.

Thank you so much, I'll definately consider trying to find those, will I be able to find some of those, particuly the first ones, since I'm going by the 教育 list, at my local library (by local, I mean the standard of course)?

Just go to the millions of 2ch 速報 websites, or just randomly browse Japanese websites and read interesting stuff.

That's what I do.

here are some classic stories, someone posted a link here a long time ago, just passing it on
