Many of you who have heard my lectures know that I am a big fan of Henry Winkler's (AKA: the Fonz) literature series Hank Zipzer. These books give the perspective of a student who learns differently and has trouble with staying on task. His adventures with his friends, family, teachers, and pets foster resilience, friendship, and determination. It is so difficult to find a book that kids who learn differently can relate to but this series which takes place in downtown New York is a gem. The "kid humor" adds another dimension which keeps my students longing to read the next book in the series. With titles like, "The Night I Flunked My Field Trip" and "Summer School! What Genius Thought That Up?"....I find that I am hooked as well. I believe the series is up to #15. Happy Reading!
