Big Books for Little Minds

Help me give my students the proper tools they need in order to learn and grow!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Grace's classroom raised $482

This project is fully funded

My Project

Large books for little minds. This project will benefit the small special education pre-k classroom at Kealakehe elementary school. These young students will benefit from being exposed to all kinds of literature. These large books will help build their love for literature. These additional sensory letter flashcards will help scaffold and support their early literacy needs.

These pre-k special education students love to read, their love for literature comes from these larger books.

With more of these large books, the students will be able to have a variety of topics during our reading circles. The sensory flash cards will also make learning letters engaging and interactive.

With your support, these students will be able to read these books on a daily basis. Reading can be a fun learning experience for these young learners when teachers are supplied with the proper tools. Your donations will continue to make learning fun and engaging for these little minds.
