I read this book in fourth grade. I read this book beacause my teacher and all fourth grade teachers gave it to thier students to read. We read it because it is the second book to Helen Keller we read in third grade. She's a miracle worker to Helen!

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.


A miracle   April 19, 2001
My teacher thought that we should read this book because it is a nice book for every body. she helped Helen learn. As Annie grew up she was half blind, but her eyesight got better. As Heklen grew up, she was blind and deaf. Annie worked a miracle. You should read this book because I would if I were you to find out the ending.
