The Junkyard Dan series is perfect for adult learners with low literacy skills. Gone are the days of Hop on Pop in an Adult Education classroom! These books were especially written for adults. When I introduced them to my class I heard the usual…."I hate books." But, to my surprise…(not really, because I read the books myself) they loved them. Several students said “I have never read an entire book in my life, until now.” Many of them have read all of the books in the series, and are looking forward to the new releases. They loved them for three very simple and important reasons:
I hope everyone who reads this takes the time to check out the Junkyard Dan books! Your learners will thank you! Patty Hallczuk |
Elise, I totally get your purpose of putting out cool books for to help struggling readers learn to read, but your books are more than that! Your books are a self esteem tool, a career advancement tool, an SLD tool, a Drop out prevention tool, and an intervention to gangs. Your books are more than just fun...they are a life raft for an alarming portion of the at risk kids that I am so passionate about reaching!!!! Every YMCA, after school program and community program needs your books! Dr. Linda Hebert-Ford |
| During open house in August the majority of the parents told me flat out, ”My child hates to read.” Virtually all of these students are now avidly reading your books. I’ve never seen anything like in all the thirty five years that I’ve taught “at risk” students!!! I can’t thank you enough for making this the most productive year ever for my intensive reading students. I’m looking forward to sending you a copy of our test score gains at the end of the year.
