Realistic Fiction
Book about disabilities
Patricia Polacco wrote this story in order to inform readers about her learning disability as a child that made reading a huge personal struggle. Little Trisha's caring teacher, Mr. Falker, begins to clearly see why Trisha is struggling with reading and stays after school with her to help her learn and discover the magic of reading. Read this story to find out the exciting achievement/goal that Trisha meets!
Thank you, Mr. Falker would be a wonderful book to share with students when discussing learning styles. All students learn differently and and in unique ways and it is important for students to understand and appreciate that. This book will contribute to increasing classroom community and respect of fellow students.
