thank you in advance.

Have you tried some graded readers? They are books that are written with easier language.
You can find any of the classic novels like this.

In general, I like to keep the readings I give ESL students short because I find it is so much work that they become tired or distracted and give up. So I use things like the newspaper, Internet, and magazines. Magazines are great because they have pictures and students can find ones that are written about topics they enjoy.

Look at this website and see if it will be useful.

Adult Learning Activities | California Distance Learning Project

This is the California Distance Learning Prroject, and the site is maintained by the Sacramento County Office of Education (in California). The stories are based on real news articles. For every story, there are activities for students to do. For adult students, this is a terrific website.
