A heartwarming story of a student's struggle to learn to read and the teacher who helps her overcome those challenges, Fish in a Tree is a must read for anyone entering the field of education.
I recently read this book for one of my education classes, and really enjoyed it. As a YA novel, it is a heartwarming story about never giving up in the face of adversity, while also being true to yourself. However, I felt that it really shines from a teachers perspective, where we are also given an excellent example of how we can reach our students through the relationships we build with them and understanding who they are on an individual level.
