The students in my special education classroom have faced many obstacles throughout their life, and will continue to do so. Unfortunately, they are used to struggling either with academics or just trying to fit in with other kids in their peer group. In our classroom, I try to provide a safe environment where they can openly discuss their feelings and make progress toward their academic and social goals. My classroom is the one environment where the students feel like they belong. With these new books, my students will be able to read about other kids who have also faced struggles such as not being able to read and not fitting in because of differences. My students will be able to relate to these characters, and will have the opportunity to see how these characters successfully faced their challenges. Reading these books will not only show my students that they can overcome their own challenges, but it will also help them develop empathy for others.
