StephanyNunez This book encourages children to follow their dreams and be what they want to be in life. The story is great for independent reading (IR) because the story is not complex, and the students should be allowed to take ownership in the learning. This strategy uses UDL principle 7.1 (optimize individual choice and autonomy). #UCFLAE3414SP21. 4y
