Homework For Term Two Week Four Activity A: Little Kassidy is one in a million By Rebecca Gardiner

Genre: Newspaper

Kassidy is not your average five-year-old girl, she is different. Life isn’t always easy for Kassidy who has acrodysostosis, the means that Kassidy has small hands and feet as well as learning difficulties. Melissah, her Mum explains that at birth she weighed 2.1kg. It has taken Kassidy a long time to learn things, like crawling, walking and talking. Kassidy is the only known case of this in New Zealand and because of the rareness of her condition doctors know little about it. Kassidy attends Macleans Primary, and her Mum says that they were really welcoming and the staff at the primary has been really helpful.

Review: This article was good and full of a great story. The author wrote it well and it had many great aspects to it. There was one thing however that could be improved, maybe they could include more information about Kassidy and her condition rather than focusing on the school as much. Below is the link to the original article [|Little Kassidy is one in a million By Rebecca Gardiner]
