Ally n'aime pas l'école. Quand elle essaie de lire ou d'écrire, les mots semblent juste danser et elle n'y arrive pas. Son professeur ne la comprend pas et les méchantes filles se moquent d'elle. Lorsque son enseignante part en congé de maternité, le monde d'Ally change et c'est à cause de M. Daniels. Il n'est pas comme les autres. En fait, il ne ressemble à personne qu'Ally ait jamais rencontré.

TEACHING
It is believed that all of these famous people had dyslexia.
Today we will be learning about influential people.
The three main characters in the story all have their own unique identity. Ally struggles with her learning disability and does not want it to become the only thing that people know her for. Keisha is one of the only African American kids in the class, and Albert is brainy and considered weird by the mean kids.
Ally acted out and constantly got into trouble until Mr. Daniels arrived and showed her that he cares and believes in her. She wanted to make him proud and truly respected him. Mr. Daniels saw Ally for who she was and gave her the confidence to succeed in life, and taught her that people learn in many different ways.
