The teacher then set down on the bean bags and the infants were coddling with her. She pointing at the book title and started to read, she uses tempo and volume. She would use deep voices and make sound when the caterpillar ate. Every time she finishes each page she would pass it to each infant.

The two huge factors that affected my literacy development was that I was held back in first grade because I lacked the literacy skills needed to be successful in second grade as well as I moved schools 4 times from Kindergarten to fifth grade.

This needed support helped me to become a successful reader to not only decode texts but also to comprehend a text and connect my background knowledge to make meaning and relate the text to my everyday life, other texts I have

Two such titles are Thank You, Mr. Falker, in which she pays homage to the special teacher who helped her learn to read, and Something about Hensley’s, a tribute to the magical general store and its equally marvelous shopkeeper in her hometown. Heartwarming narratives and charming artwork are characteristic of all of Polacco’s books, and these two are no exception.
