Would it be worthwhile to rewrite books so that they could be read by adults who are learning to speak English?

Asked by LostInParadise (31914points) February 19th, 2020

It is hard for adults learning to speak English to find suitable reading material. What is readable for them tends to be written for non-adults.

Shouldn’t there be a market for books that have been rewritten for grownups with an intermediate knowledge of the language? These people are not stupid. They can handle sophisticated ideas. I have tutored people learning English, and the reading materials designed for them are not particularly well written.
