Question

Based on this information, which text would be the best recommendation for Samir?

a novel on a community college reading list about two doctors who compete to find the cure for a disease
a middle-school reader about the mystery of a hidden treasure discovered by a group of teenage boys
a newspaper article about a small town basketball team that wins a championship
a children’s book about an alien who visits Earth to learn about our culture

Answer 1

I don’t have any information about Samir (age, grade, reading level, or interests). Could you tell me those? That will let me pick the best match.

Quick guidance in the meantime:
- If Samir is a college student or an adult who likes literary/complex stories, pick the novel about two doctors competing to cure a disease.
- If he’s in middle school (or a young teen) and likes adventure/mystery, pick the middle-school reader about the hidden treasure.
- If he prefers short, factual, local-interest nonfiction or needs something quick to read, pick the newspaper article about the small-town basketball team.
- If he’s an early elementary child or likes simple, imaginative stories, pick the children’s book about the visiting alien.
