Review: Helen Keller's teacher was a very interesing book. The book is about Annie Sullivan ( Helen Keller's teacher) as a young girl. This biography discusses and observes how Annie from ayoung age goes blind from a disease she contracted when she rubbed her eyes and scrathed her cornias. She goes on to school and learns to read braille because she couldn't see. She has a very tough and hard life. She had surgery on her eyes and it was successful. She could see. She then, finished school and went to teach Helen. She could deal with the same tantrums Helen displayed because she herself acted that way out of frustration. This book taught me that it is a lot of hard work to teach a kid. You have to have a lot of patience. I recommend this book because it explains how people have to work for their accomplishments. This book had a lot of information on Annie Sullivan. This book was sad because Annie Sullivan didn't have a good childhood. There was lots of disappointments and sadness in her life. She overcame so many obstacles and ended up being an inspirational leader for Helen. I hope you will read this book and learn about Annie's childhood.

Summary: Wow this is a great biography
Review: Hellen Kellers Teacher was a great book. I liked it because it had a lot of dialouge and lots of interesting facts I had never known That were about Annie her teacher. Annie was blind when she was little so she knew what Helen felt like. Most people concentrate on Helen but this is all about her teacher. I would recomend this to any 3rd 4th or 5th grader.

Summary: A Merical Teacher
Review: My teacher had the whole class read it and I'm glad he picked it out.

Annie Sullivan had a rough life. She had not seen her brother for months.Annie finally saw him. They slept in a house in Tweksbury. One day Annie found out he had died. She helped a girl named Helen who was deaf and blind. She helped her spell words in her hand by using her fingers.

If you have not read this book you should read it.I like this book. Some parts are sad and some parts are happy. The author did a very good job on explaining this book.

Summary: Annie Sullivan's Life
Review: 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.

Summary: Annie Sullivan was a magic
Review: True story of Annie Sullivan's life. She was a miracle and a godsend to Helen Keller - a deaf, blind and mute girl who had never been able to communicate with others before the arrival of Annie Sullivan. Annie was not only Helen Keller's teacher but also Helen's best friend. You will see Annie's struggling endeavor to teach Helen to speak and she was eventually successful. I highly recommend this book to you and your young children.
