My students need read-along CD books that spark their interest in reading. Nothing most appealing to a child that storytelling time! These materials will build literacy skills in my young students. I know they won't be able to resist listening/reading these familiar tales. Help me to provide my students with books that will allow them discover the magic of books page by page. The time spent reading aloud is valuable to our children. I have seen my students listen to a story, then capture the book itself to look at again and again. Sometimes they memorized the story, shared it with their friends, and at times even slept with the book. I want my students to be exposed the rich vocabulary found in books as they let their imagination fly high!
