JeeHo's Learning Journey

In a world that depends so much on communication, whether it be online, 1-1 or in a group setting, how do we ensure children are becoming effective communicators?
Sometimes it is scary or difficult when learning a new language or when trying to communicate in the best way. Join JeeHo as he struggles with these issues and help him make choices that will help him become a confident communicator (and, in turn, becoming a better communicator yourself!) ABOUT THE AUTHORS

This book offers an authentic glimpse into the immigrant experience through the real-world challenges of young JeeHo’s immersion in a North American school. The story involves young readers in helping JeeHo make good choices about how to communicate in a variety of difficult situations for an English language learner, and in doing so offers ideas about how students can support their immigrant peers in thoughtful and meaningful ways. This lovely story will encourage all readers to empathize with the experience of any newcomer, and its inter-cultural lessons make it essential for any global classroom or household.

This series is a valuable and unique addition to any teacher’s resource collection. Each book focuses on a specific character trait - perfectly aligned with the IBO PYP Learner Profile attributes but equally useful for character education in any school with any curriculum. The stories and their characters are very accessible for independent reading, paired / guided reading, and as teacher readalouds. The delightful illustrations further enhance the key ideas and provide lots of detail for students to discover as they browse. The individual style of this series reflects the character of their authors and will be very appealing to teachers and students alike.
