Why Can't U Teach Me 2 Read: Three Students and a Mayor Put Our Schools to the Test

Emily, OSU comp Student Spring 2011

Beth Fertig wrote an outstanding book. She describes every aspect on learning and teaching how to read. In the book, Fertig shows real life experiences about three students. I really connected with these three students. As a child with supportive educated parents, I never realized what went into teaching students how to read. After I read this motivating book, I want to be a teacher and help every student. This book will help me teach every student because Fertig provides different resources to help teachers teach students how to read. She even includes different colleges that are specifically trained to help teachers with students that have learning disabilities. I would suggest this book to any parent, teacher, or administrative leaders. You will definitely learn what your school district should be doing. This book was not slow to read, it was a fantastic book that made me want to read more.
