Students who engage with a great book in hands-on ways will "get it" -- and want to read more.
This guide helps teachers bring the 1957 classic "Follow My Leader" to life with sensory experiences straight from the story.
Whether students are painting the sunrise Jimmy "saw" without using their eyes, decoding Braille and "Dog Latin" sentences, or just tasting Mrs. Carter's cookies and lemonade while listening to vintage music, they will deeply connect with the story and gain new respect for the blind.
