A dyslexic reader's journey
Christy D. - 1 year agoThank you, Mr. Falker is a tale about the author's journey in learning to read. She wants to be just like her classmates. She struggles to keep up in the classroom. Her dyslexia makes it hard for her to learn her letters and numbers. She believes she is dumb. It isn't until the arrival of Mr. Falker, a new teacher, that she gets a boost in her reading skills. This is a wonderful story with beautifully drawn pictures. Young readers will enjoy this classic read.
