My Project
I am requesting board books that are sturdy and easy to read.
I am asking for board books since they last longer in my classroom.
My students have the opportunity to look at books daily. I want my students to have the opportunity to have many choices with quality new books.
These books would truly be a special gift for our classroom library. Board books are great for students with autism because they are durable, sensory-friendly, and usually visually simple. My students enjoy the repetitive reading, and board books can withstand frequent handling. They are also chew resistant and easy to clean.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
