This was a short read and as Layla is in her 8th grade year, she makes a bad decision in school and her parent and teachers begin to worry. She was finally discovered to have a learning disability, dyslexia. This is a great book for middle schoolers to parents as it explores self realization and acceptance. ( ) Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This last Friday was my last day at school. Our principal told us to make sure we took time for us. Then he called me out in front of everyone. He told me he had talked to my husband about finding a way to make me not focus on work. Yes I admit I have a problem letting school work go. However, after two years of covid teaching I needed a break. I told him I had a stack of books on my couch waiting for me.This book was one of them I had not been able to get to earlier due to covid teaching. As a middle school teacher, this book really resonated with me. I see students like Layla every year. A lot of them fall through the cracks and are never diagnosed with a learning disability. I try to be a teacher who works for each and every one of them. Layla wants so hard to do better in school. She wants the approval of her mother who works the night shift as a nurse. She has the support of her older brother Nick. No matter how hard she tries her undiagnosed dyslexia makes her feel bad about herself. It is her English teacher who believes in her and recognizes her disability that turns things around. This should be on every classroom shelf. It is true to life. Middle school students will be able to identify with the character and most importantly the events that take place in school and at home. The fact that Layla is able to find help will give hope to those who struggle, and may just encourage those teachers who aren't real sure how to help a student. I applaud this author for creating a book that needs to be read by teachers and students alike. My Name is Layla is about a thirteen-year-old girl dealing with the pressures of middle school while dealing with an undiagnosed learning disorder and the return of her long-absent father. I found the characters to be likable, the dialogue engaging, and the story poignant without getting too heavy or unrealistic. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing and a bunch of lessons to learn along the way.

On the first day of eighth grade, thirteen year-old Layla has a pretty good idea of what's in store for her-another year of awkward social situations, mediocre grades, and teachers who praise her good behavior but find her academic performance disappointing. Layla feels certain she's capable of more, but each time she tries to read or write, the words on the page dance and spin, changing partners and leaving her to sit on the sidelines. This year will be different in ways Layla could never have predicted. Her new English teacher, Mr. McCarthy, senses her potential. When he pushes her to succeed, Layla almost rises to the challenge before making a desperate choice that nearly costs her everything she's gained. Will she be able to get back on track? And who can she count on to help her? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
