The Safe Place

This story broke my heart. I could not put this book down until I read the whole story. I am amazed at what this child had to go through before someone recognized that she was dyslexic and needed help in order to learn to read. It made me wish that every child had a place they could go where they felt safe and cared about, where no one would make fun of them because they could not read or write or do math, skills that most children take for granted. It made me realize that schools should provide every child a place to go where they felt safe and cared about, a place such as the resource room and teacher as described in this story. It also made me realize how important it is that teachers learn to recognize signs of dyslexia in children in their classrooms and bring it to the attention of appropriate school personnel. This is a wonderful book that I would highly recommend for teachers, parents, and educational/school psychologists to read.

correction

There is a mistake in the 1st review- the girl's name is Kinneret, not Nava. please correct it.

A book for readers young to old

The Safe Place,written by Tehila Peterseil,is about a young girl named Nava who has problems with learning. Her parents first have no idea what's wrong with her. Finally they realize the solution is for her to receive special educatioon. This book, which Tehila Peterseil kindly dedicates to every "Nava" around the world, will touch your heart and nourish your soul even after the last page is turned.
