In Context





This piece was about the necessity of teaching aides for students with learning disabilities. The book The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss is a children's book that many students first learn to read with . To express the difficulty of learning to read with a learning disability, I removed any text that did not rhyme. I decided to leave the rhyming text intact because in my experience in working with students with learning , the rhymes are where the students direct their focus. 

The pages of the book are propped open and the extracted text and some of the more important images are coming out of the pages and are dispersed around the book. This is supposed to make the book look more interactive and easier to learn from as a learning aide would.
