The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, Oge Mora
5.0
informative inspiring medium-paced

Fabulous Story.  A true story.  I’m not sure I would want to live to be over 120 years old, but what Mary endured and still took time to learn.  She recognized that there was something she needed to be free – the ability to read.  This story is amazing.  It’s a powerful tool to show children you are never too old to learn something new.
