I really enjoyed reading this book about a little girl named Amanda who has sight impairment. This story was told in the light of Amanda’s eye and how she lives her everyday life. Amanda has friends that also have sight impairment. Some things that have been of assistance for Amanda and her friends with visual impairment are the use of magnifiers and big-print books to help her and others do their work. Amanda also explains that her friend Erin meets with Mr. Gilmore, a special teacher for the visually impaired. He helps her find her way around strange things. Towards the end of the book Amanda is very open about how she lives her life as normal as anyone else. I really liked how at the end she makes a statement that says, “And if someday I lose more of my sight, I’m still going to be the star of my own life.” This quote really stood out to me because of the confidence Amanda shows within herself. She doesn’t expect anyone to treat her any different because she is visually impaired. I think this book could teach a lot of us the importance of treating everyone equally. ( )

This book describes how a young girl and other students, who are all visually impaired, use different types of equipment and methods to get around their disabilities. I loved how the book focused on the students' strengths rather than their weaknesses. ( )

Seeing Things My Way talks about the different types of vision impairments that people live with. Amanda, lost majority of her vision when she suffered a tumor when she was in kindergarten. She has to wear prescribed glasses but her vision is still not very clear. Amanda, has to learn how to read all over again in braille. I like this book because Amanda is so younger but such a strong little girl. She does not question her disability, she just deals with it and learns new ways to get around her disability. It is a very motivating book that I think young children will enjoy reading. ( )

This book discusses the different types of vision impairments people have. The main character Amanda has lost most of her sight due to a tumor she had when she was in kindergarten. She now wears glasses, but even with the glasses her vision is still not very clear. She goes on to tell us the story of how she learns how to read and type in braille. She also tells us about some of her friends who have lost their sight completely, and how although they may not be able to see, they still do very well in school and let nothing get in their way. Amanda tells us about some of the famous people she learns about that have vision impairments like Helen Keller, Stevie Wonder, and Louis Braille. I think this is a great book to read in a classroom because I think it educates students on some of the ways people with vision impairments handle their everyday lives. It also teaches students that this “impairment” does not stop people from succeeding in life; talking about some of the famous people can be a great social studies activity for students to learn about how these people succeeded despite some of the challenges they had to face. Over I think this is a great book and would definitely read it in my future class. ( )
