Helen Keller's Teacher

True story of Annie Sullivan's life. She was a miracle and a godsend to Helen Keller - a deaf, blind and mute girl who had never been able to communicate with others before the arrival of Annie Sullivan. Annie was not only Helen Keller's teacher but also Helen's best friend. You will see Annie's struggling endeavor to teach Helen to speak and she was eventually successful. I highly recommend this book to you and your young children.

My teacher made my class read the book "Helen Keller's Teacher",it wasn't an individual choice. I think he made us read this book he wanted us to learn that some people have a world that is totally silent,dark or both. I also think that he wanted us to learn not to take our hearing, and speech for granted because it really is a great gift. What happened in the book was annie's mother died and Annie and her brother Jimmy were sent to the Tewksburry poor-house. After a while jimmy died and Annie got into Perkins Institution. She was the valedictorian of her graduating class of 1886. She worked hard all her life and died on October19,1936. I think you should read this book to learn about a hard-working woman.

I read this book in my class and I thought it was great! It's full of educated stuff and it would make a fabulous biography! I would love to take it home and read it again.

the name Helen Keller.I remember ordering this book through the Scholastic Book Club when I was ten. I couldn't wait to read the book. Anne Sullivan came from a background of poverty, neglect and disease; Helen a comfortable home in Alabama. Yet if not for Anne Sullivan, Helen might have wound up in a home for those whom society can't help.The only postive characteristic Anne Sullivan got from her childhood was tenacity and perserverance, and those qualities served her well when she set out to teach Helen Keller.From the time I was 10, Anne Sullivan has always been my hero. She never gave up, she was creative, stubborn, and believed a human being could accomplish anything he/she set their mind to.She was right.

This book is highly recommended for all readers. It is a very impressive story of a blind, deaf girl and her teacher who brought everthing to her life. This book is an amust for classic book lovers.
