[MOSAIC] Comprehension Strategies and Dyslexia

[Kevin Kleinert]

A wonderful, funny reading series popular amongst students in grades 4 - 6 
is the Hank Zipzer series.  The books are written by Henry Winkler and he 
has suffered with dyslexia all his life.  His main character in the series 
is a student named Hank Zipzer.  You and your students will fall in love 
with Hank.  He is resourceful, funny and finds his own ways to be successful 
because he finds learning challenging.  This is a great series to use for 
literature circles and reinforcement of all the MOT strategies.  If is also 
a series that boys seem to really enjoy reading.  I can't tell you how many 
boys said it was the first entire book they ever read.  A good way to teach 
about life, challenges and MOT strategies.
Have Fun!
