I have taught Loser for about 3 years now in my 5th grade
class. I am a big fan of Jerry Spinelli. This kids love the
book. Everytime I have read it, I get more from the story. The
big question, like who is a loser, what defines losing, and
who is the real loser in this book are constantly coming up.
I use resources from the website edhelper.com to help me. I
also use it in literature circles.
