I just read an emotional book that the author wrote about herself called Thank you, Mr. Falker. It was about a girl named Trisha who didn’t know how to read. In kindergarten, some kids in her class could read. Then came first grade and everybody knew how to read! Kids made fun of her. Then came second grade. She still didn’t know how to read!!! Trisha’s mom got a job in California. Trisha hoped that kids didn’t know she was dumb. In California, Trisha didn’t know how to read or how to do math!!! Every time she got an answer wrong, kids laughed. In fourth grade she still didn’t know how to read! Then came fifth grade. There was a new teacher. His name was Mr. Falker. Mr. Falker saw what the kids were doing to Trisha. Mr. Falker tried to help Trisha learn how to read and do math. Will Trisha get smart? Read Thank you, Mr. Falker by Patricia Polacco to find out.
