BOOKS and MUSIC
I think the books are going to be hard for me and the other kids will be better readers than me,” tells Henry a 2nd grader who didn’t believe in himself. With the help of his teacher, Ms. Rivelli, and his classmates, Henry learns the difference between positive and negative self-talk. He embraces the skill of using positive self-talk as a tool to help him successfully use his reading strategies and believe in himself!
Henry was always getting in trouble and feeling bad about himself. He felt like his body was a race car and his brain was the engine. He just couldn’t focus and stay calm until he was diagnosed with ADHD and met his teacher Ms. Rivelli.
