Okay Kevin Book Review

Okay Kevin

A Story to Help Children Discover How Everyone Learns Differently

James Dillon (Author)

Kara McHale (Illustrator)

Jessica Kingsley Publishers

Children’s Fiction

Publication Date: April 21, 2017

Okay Kevin is a realistic story about a boy who struggles with reading. Starting in Kindergarten Kevin needs extra help to catch up with his classmates, and he feels like he's not like everyone else. By third grade, Kevin still needs help, but his reading teacher has an important job for him to do. That job helps Kevin see that he is okay just like everyone else, even if he needs a little extra help with reading.

If you're looking for a book about working hard over a long period of time and learning to be okay with your own learning differences, Okay Kevin is a great read aloud for kindergarten - 2nd grade kids and it would be a good independent read for 2nd - 4th graders.

If you’re interested in reading Okay Kevin, you can purchase a copy here on Amazon.
