Building our bookshelf
I have recently read El Deafo by Cece Bell. This is a wonderful story about a young girl who suffers from hearing loss and how she overcomes her struggles. Its a wonderfully written graphic novel that had me laughing out loud. I wish I could read this as a read aloud, but I fear it would not be nearly as effective as when your student reads it alone. I can not wait to add this book to the classroom bookshelf! (Perhaps you should add it to yours too.)
