Gracie's Girl | 
pickGracie‘s Girl by Ellen Wittlinger is a RF book that won the Sunshine
State Reader‘s award in 2002-03. This book could be used as a LC. This
was my favorite book that I remember reading from my childhood. It is
about a girl named Bess who wants to be noticed by her parent so she
wears all these weird clothes but she still doesn‘t get the attention
that she wants. Her parents spend majority of the time volunteering at
a shelter that Bess wants no

woman named Grace eating out of the dumpster and that makes Bess want
to help at the shelter. This is a really good book that talks about
volunteering and it makes you grateful for the things that sometimes
you take for granted. The UDL principle-3.2 highlight patterns,
critical features, big ideas, and relationships & EL 2- promote
cooperation (small groups) could be achieved using this book. This a
link to a guided group reading that has questions and activities that
can be used in the classroom
