Great book about learning to read. Douglas has ADHD, this book would also be good for Inclusive.

This book pairs well with Patricia Polacco's Thank You, Mr. Falker. I really enjoyed it and stories like this are encouraging to reluctant readers. Everyone knows a few of those. ( )

Miss Little’s Gift (Douglas Wood and Jim Burke)– Douglas is in grade two and he doesn’t like to sit still. He interrupts his teacher; he has problems with reading and on the playground. He is very resistant to staying after school in order to get extra help but Miss Little is firm and determined. She finds a book to match his interests, she encourages him and she gives him just enough help. Miss Little’s Gift is a celebration of the difference a wonderful, caring teacher can make.
