Leaves of Grass

This guide walks teachers through the process of integrating the book "I Wish I Could Fly Like a Bird!" into lesson plans, curriculae and classroom character education discussions. It includes best teaching practices for learning disabled students, sample lesson plans and extension activities, and literature links. "I Wish I Could Fly Like a Bird!" is the story of Chic L. Dee, a boy bird with learning disabilities, who flip-flops when he tries to fly. While he struggles to accept his limitations, he begins to discover his talents, trust his intuition and find his own way. Perhaps most importantly, he learns about making room for differences.
