The Story of Helen Keller: An Inspiring Biography for Young Readers (The Story of Biographies)

Wonderful books

Great book for my 3rd grader. We used this book as we were studying the state of Alabama in homeschool. It was an easy read for her.

Love this book series. Great for kids interested in history/people. Includes a quiz at the end of the reading to check reading comprehension. Definitely recommend!

Great story and great delivery

My daughter lived it!

Awww, one of the twins I babysit was mesmerized by this book when I read it to her, but her sister just flopped over and went to sleep. Go figure.

This is another in the excellent series of biographies for beginning chapter book readers. This time the story of Helen Keller, her life and achievements is engagingly told. Helen's story is put into the context of her time; she was born in the South not long after the Civil War to a family that had owned slaves. Young readers will learn that Helen's life was changed forever when she became ill at 19 months of age. She would never hear or see again. Readers will find out how Helen reacted, began to adapt and what and who changed her life, again forever. Helen studied, learned to read, write, speak and more. She attended college and became an activist and inspiration to many. She went on to meet more than a dozen presidents, testified before Congress and was involved with the ACLU> This book has winsome illustrations. As in all the titles in the series, there are extras including a bibliography, a family tree, questions to think about, a quiz and more.

Very good for my rising 2nd grader

The book is great for struggling readers. The content is well organised and easy to read. The topic is interesting.

障がいの系統の英単語を知ることができてよかった。何冊かこのシリーズを読んでいるが、その点発見が多かった気がする。ヘレンケラーもアンサリヴァンも素晴らしい。

This is a great book!! It is very comprehensive and thorough with multiple choice questions included in the back. Its a great book for grade 2 and up!!!!
