Summary
Thank You, Mr. Falker by Patricia Polacco
Thank You, Mr. Falker is the story of a young girl named Trisha who can hardly wait to start school. She excels at many things, but when she tries to read, she only sees a jumbled mess of letters. Just when she starts to believe she’s as dumb as her classmates say, Trisha meets an exceptional teacher who refuses to let her fail. This uplifting story is perfect for introductory lessons on identifying author messages and synthesizing. It also supports practice in making connections, visualizing and making inferences.
