New Books for Jake who is academically challenged

Posted May 22, 2019
Jake will be retained from the 3rd grade due to his lack of knowledge of basic concepts. It would be helpful for him to complete summer school, but the school is not offering summer school due to budget cuts. The county stated tutoring would be requested for Jake, but tutoring is typically one hour per week. Jake needs more academic resources than what is provided. Barnes and Noble has an excellent collection of diverse academic resources that could help Jake learn the beginning sounds of the alphabet and to count.

Jake is 14 years old and lives in CA

Jake is an adorable child. He tries his best even when he is not able to complete a desired goal. Currently, he loves school despite the challenges to grasp basic concepts such as counting and beginning sounds of the letters.

DON'T GIVE UP AND WHEN YOU FEEL IT'S TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECT, JUST ASK GOD TO OPEN UP YOUR MIND AND TO HELP YOU.
