Our school now has the largest number of early childhood students that it has ever had with five full classes of little people fun and learning going on every day! While this is exciting for all of us, it also means that more age-specific supplies are required in order to meet all of the needs of our youngest students.
Board books are the perfect choice for young books lovers as they are sized appropriately for small hands, are extra durable, and feature content, language and illustrations designed for the youngest among us.
The books I have included in this list, along with a plush penguin family to enhance story time, are about the things that young soon-to-be readers are most interested in, and will go a long way in developing an early love of books and reading!
More than half of students from low‑income households
