Description
Our readers and customers asked for informative and entertaining fiction for teens and young adults about their lives, and we've listened! We’re pleased to publish Lucky Dogs, Lost Hats, and Dating Don'ts, a collection of over a dozen hi-lo (high interest-low reading level) short stories for people with intellectual disabilities or other learning challenges.
Middle schoolers through adults will identify with the book's true-to-life stories and their characters (some with developmental disabilities, some without), who want to live as independently as they can. And just like real life, there are episodes of hilarity, poignancy, messiness, responsibility, longing, fulfillment, and adventure. From roommate troubles to wanting a pet, and from seeking a girlfriend to going camping with friends, these appealing short stories engage readers and impart subtle life lessons. A set of questions at the end of each story encourages discussion and further self-reflection. Stories included are:
A Day of Kindness
A Very Lucky Dog
Adventures in Camping
Bad Hair Day
Dear Diary
Dirty Dishes
Doctor Visit
Evening Walks
How to Find a Girlfriend
Road Trip
Slugger
Sneezes
The Kissing Scene
Tornado at Big Burger
Written by experts in literacy and inclusion for people with developmental disabilities, stories range in reading grade level from 1.5 to 3.5 (Flesch–Kincaid scale) and are illustrated with large format black and white photos. Large type, a sans serif font, ample margins, and space between paragraphs helps to provide a smooth reading experience. An Introduction provides important information about who can benefit from the book and how to use it.
If you're a parent, educator, reading specialist, book club coordinator, librarian, or counselor don’t miss this unique book for your teen and adult readers with intellectual disabilities or other struggling readers!
