Bibliography: Polacco, Patricia. (1998). Thank you, Mr. Falkner. New York, NY: Philomel Books.
Brief Annotation: This story is about Tricia, a little girl who struggled to learn to read and was being teased because of it. Finally a teacher realized she was having a problem and decided to help. Will Tricia ever learn to read?
Genre: Realistic Autobiographical Fiction,
Grade Level: 1-5
Readers who will like this: Children who are learning to read or children who are struggling to learn to read.
Response/Rating (1-4): 3; This is a sad and heartwarming story. It’s sad that Tricia made it so far in school without learning to read. I hope as a teacher, I will be able to see the signs that a child is struggling and provide him/her with the help he/she needs.
Questions you would ask before a read aloud: Is there something that was really difficult for you to learn? Who helped you to finally figure it out?
