It&#8217;s important for students to have books where they can identify with the characters so they can fully engage with the reading material and more easily comprehend the book\u2019s main ideas, plots, setting, conflicts, and resolutions. The most compelling characters in a book are often the ones that remind us of ourselves; we can share and empathize with their weaknesses and setbacks, as well as celebrating and cheering on the character\u2019s gains and achievements. Help your student develop a love for reading by offering them these titles (appropriate for all grade levels) and discussing the various elements of the books to see your students blossom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-curious-incident\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learningally.org\/BookDetails\/BookID\/GZ465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Curious Incident<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learningally.org\/BookDetails\/BookID\/GZ465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learningally.org\/Portals\/6\/Images\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The%20Curious%20Incident%20of%20the%20Dog%20in%20the%20Night-Time.jpg\" alt=\"The Curious Incident\" style=\"width:199px;height:auto\" title=\"The Curious Incident\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Synopsis<\/strong><br>Narrated by the highly logical and detail-oriented Christopher Boone, a 15-year-old with a mind on the autism spectrum, the novel begins as a self-styled detective story.
