Philip Hall Likes Me. I Reckon Maybe.
Philip Hall Likes Me. I Reckon Maybe. | Bette Bette Greene
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Beth Lambert has a crush on Philip Hall, who is better than she is at just about everything—or is he? Philip Hall is the handsomest, smartest, fastest boy in Miss Johnson’s class. He beats Beth Lambert in math, spelling, reading, sports . . . and she adores him. Beth suspects Philip likes her too, only she can’t quite get him to admit it. In fact, he won’t even invite her to his birthday party because he’s afraid the other boys will call him a sissy. But then Beth begins to wonder: Maybe Philip only wins because she’s letting him. Maybe she could beat him at everything. That would show Philip Hall! Because if being friends with a girl is bad . . . getting beaten by a girl is much, much worse. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Bette Greene including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Nobody gets the better of Beth except, maybe, I reckon, Philip Hall. This Newberry award winning RF novel is about a sixth-grade girl, Beth, and her handsome, good at everything, crush, Philip Hall. Philip is really good at everything, and always is the best, until, Beth realizes she‘s been letting him win this whole time because she likes him so much. At the end, Beth realizes that she doesn‘t have to let him win to get him to like her.

Ashley_B This novel would be good during IR aligned with UDL 5.3 (Build fluencies with graduated levels of support for practice and performance) and ESOL strategy 29 (Offer a variety of reference materials at the students‘ instructional level for independent use).

In the sixth grade, all Beth can think about is Phillip Hall, an athletic, hard working boy who won't give her the time of day! Over the course of the book, Beth starts to develop a close friendship with Phillip, who works on a farm and plays guitar. This was an awesome coming of age fiction book! Beth was a quirky little girl with a fiery spirit. :) http://edhelper.com/books/Philip_Hall_Likes_Me_I_Reckon_Maybe.htm #UCFLAE3414sp17

DrSpalding What kind of fiction @NicoleBowenTeach ? 7y
HeyMsBowen I think it's realistic fiction! The story includes much of what we've seen in society. :) (School, farms, homework, chores) 7y
