Life Skills Taught With A Novel - Follow My Leader: Deep Inside the Forest Curriculum

By Tammy Johnson

This is the first in a series of electives that will cover reading, the Bible, and basic life skills through the use of novels. Each of the books in this series will incorporate learning differently.
Our world has stepped away from basic life skills being taught and has filled our lives with electronics for everything. While the use of them can be very useful, they can also be very damaging.
This series will give you hands-on learning, as well as practical learning skills.
These are designed to be used by the entire family

This unit will use the book by James B. Garfield, Follow My Leader.
Follow My Leader is a book by James B. Garfield, about a boy, Jimmy Carter, who, during an after-school baseball game, is blinded when one of his friends, Mike Adams, is playing with a firecracker and, in a panic, accidentally throws it at Jimmy. Now having to learn to live with his disability, Jimmy learns how to use a white cane, to read and write Braille, and to work with a seeing-eye dog, whom he names Leader.
