Book Synopsis



For the scared reader (or scared-of-anything toddler) in your life, Lamonte Learns to Read is a wonderful picture book that teaches how to overcome fear, how to ask for help, and what you can discover once you let fear go.

Lamonte loves school and his friends, but he has a lot of fear and anxiety about a specific problem: he struggles with reading and comprehension skills. When he's in class, and the teacher asks people to read, he always sinks lower in his seat, hoping it won't be his turn.

More than anything, Lamonte wishes he could read like his friends and classmates. But it feels like every time he tries, his fear of failure makes the goal seem too far away.

Thanks to the kind support of his teacher Miss Rose, Lamonte connects with his friend Ava who is smart and humble. They begin to read together, and through continuous practice, Lamonte notices his fear of reading out loud becoming smaller and smaller.

And, when Lamonte keeps practicing, he gets closer to his goal. What do you think he'll discover when he learns to read like his friends-and where do you think his reading adventures will take him?

Perfect for the bookshelves of teachers, parents, grandparents, and counselors, Lamonte Learns to Read demonstrates a relatable situation for many toddlers and shows that it is absolutely okay to learn and comprehend differently than those around you. Author Letasha hopes that Lamonte's story gives a voice to any child who may not have a voice or is suffering in silence and wants to be a better student.
