This is an incredible and moving book. It is Patricia Poacco’s autobiography. She discusses her childhood battle with dyslexia, and her new found love of reading. With the encouragement and help of a supportive teacher she gains faith in herself and becomes a wonderful author.
This book is a great way for children to explore South Carolina. It goes through the alphabet and gives an important facts for South Carolina for every letter of the alphabet. I think that it promotes interest in South Carolina and it’s history.
This is a great book. It is about a poor boy wrongfully accused of a crime. He is sentenced to Camp Green Lake where he is forced to dig holes. This is suppose to help them turn into good boys and build character. The holes actually serve another purpose. It’s a wonderful, entertaining, and moving story.
There’s something in my attic is about a little girl who is convinced that there is a monster in her attic. She discovers that it is a nightmare. She keeps telling her parents that there is something in the attic, but they keep telling her that nothing is up there. Finally she goes up there and finds a nightmare. She tries to lure it to her parent’s room so they can see it. When she finally gets her parents awake, the nightmare dissappears. This is a great book for children. It allows them to use their imagination. I’m sure that a lot of small children can relate to being scared of something at night. I think this book will keep students engaged!
