I am Helen Keller

My littlest reader apparently fell asleep while reading last night. Her dad posted it on FB a bit ago. She also was super excited to be the kid in class who spent the second-most amount of time reading last month.

If she builds up her endurance and starts to stay up all night reading, she can be a #zombie like her Grammy‘s Litsy friends!

I am Helen Keller is a B written by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Christopher Eliopoulos. This book comes from the best seller series of Ordinary People Change the World. I absolutely adore these books and enjoy reading them! I think this would be a good RA book to share with students to learn about important people in history. I love how kid friendly this book is about how Helen Keller grew up and overcame so many obstacles. #ucflae3414f17

DominiqueL I absolutely love these books as biographies in a fun way. I would have never thought to use BrainPOP as a resource and I used to LOVE BrainPOP back when I was in school. 6y

“I Am Helen Keller” by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Chris Eliopoulos is a B that‘s great for IR. This picture book is an easy read for a student that will educate them on Helen Kellers youth on how she dealt with being deaf.

supan.katherine https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/I-am-Helen-Keller-by-Brad-Meltzer-24... Although you have to purchase this lesson plan, I think it‘s well worth it. It includes how to read Braille as well as learning sign language! (edited) 6y

elifkelly I think the lesson plan you‘ve included is so important for students to learn. Exposing students to the basic concepts of braille and ASL is crucial for teaching diversity 6y

I am Helen Keller | Brad Meltzer

I am Helen Keller is a biography written by Brad Meltzer. Helen Keller lost both her sight and hearing when she was only 19 months old. She had a teacher named Anne Sullivan who during one of their first lessons, gave Keller a doll and teached her how to spell ‘doll‘. I liked this book because it‘s children friendly and the use of pictures and comic type strips make the story engaging. #UCFWaltersLit -biography

Erica.rivera @Seans_h The story about Helen Keller is very interesting just from your description. I wouldn't mind reading another book that looks like a comic just like El Deafo. I will definitely consider checking this book out. This will be great for students to read about someone who lost two of their senses that are very important! Thank you for sharing. (edited) 6y

I love this series of books introducing important people like Rosa Parks, Albert Einstein to kids. And this book about Helen Keller was especially eye-opening for them as they learnt about Braille and how these bumps on the page enabled Helen Keller to read, learn and eventually attend university.

pilardib wow! 7y

Churchlady These are the best!! 7y

badnorthern My kids love this series. Their current fave is Jane Goodall. 7y
