Text Set Reflection

It was hard for me to find a topic that I knew I would be able to find a lot of books about. I decided to focus on something that I have not yet had a lot of experience with which was physical disabilities.

When I began searching for books I felt very discouraged. It was very difficult for to find books in the area that focused on my issue. On top of that, how would I know if the books I chose were quality books? The books I did find did not catch my interest. To save myself from stress, I picked five books and knew that I would choose at 3 of those books.

Once I found books and brought them home with me I noticed a trend. Most of the 5 books focused on giving information about a physical disability that children would be able to understand. It is easy to say I went that route.

The three books I chose are books that informed me and I knew if they could do that for me, they would be able to inform students. While all of my books are informative they include pictures at the same time. These books would be great resources in any classroom or any home. This is an issue that many people need to learn about so why not start at a young age. Although there might be far superior books out there for children these 3 are still just as important.
