LEBRON JAMES books - 1st Grade Reading Level (Hi/Lo books included)

LeBron James is a sports phenom and these books might get your hesitant kids reading.

I found 3 books at the First Grade reading level.  One is for younger readers who are working at the 1st Grade level. The remaining 2 are Hi/Low readers.  That is, they are for older readers (4th-8th Grade) that are reading at this level.  The fantastic topic might hook them on reading!

**There are no books at the Kindergarten level, nor the Second Grade reading level.  
**all ratings from GoodReads
