Wood, Douglas Miss Little’s Gift: a heartfelt memoir about
ADHD and learning to read. PICTURE
BOOK. Illustrated by Jim Burke. Candlewick, 2009, 2017. $7.
REPRINT. 9780763698379
Douglas was already in trouble all of the time for his behavior
at school, but now his teacher, Miss Little, wanted him to stay after school
every day to get help learning to read better.
Darn! But Miss Little found books
that appealed to the adventurer in Douglas and little by little he actually
learned to enjoy reading – so much so that when he grew up he became a writer.
I enjoyed this when it first came out in 2009 and enjoy it
again. I still think it is a great
present for a new or even a veteran teacher.
