Blurb:
Children with learning disabilities get separated from their Special Education class on a field trip and use what they’ve learned to get reunited with them. The included activities can help children learn safety rules, understanding of people with special needs, basic reading skills, and creative writing skills.
Review:
Signs of Trouble is an adventurous story about two girls, a special ed student and her partner, who get separated from their group. With a communication mix-up and a trip to the bathroom, the girls discover they are...gulp...lost!
During this edge-of -the-seat story, we follow the characters as they face a real life test on what to do if you are lost. Do they go with that strange lady who offered to help them find their group? Do they go looking for their group? Should they try to find the group meeting place on their own?
With some quick thinking and a creative solution, the girls find a way to draw attention to themselves and get the help they needed.
This is a delightfully written story that all children can relate to. I loved at the end of the book there are a large variety of academic activities. More fascinating fun with author Janet A Collins!
