Books Are for Learning...and Poking!

Help me give my students poke-a-dot-books to help them learn language in a fun way!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kim's classroom raised $201

My Project

Books are a fun way to engage students in learning new concepts or exploring old ones, but did you know books can be even more fun?

Early communicators love to explore the world through their senses.

These Poke-A-Dot books are the perfect combination of exciting sensory exploration and language development opportunities. Students can poke the dots highlighting certain concepts or vocabulary, while pairing the sensation with spoken language. We'd love to get these books to build upon our learning of vocabulary through songs like "Old Macdonald had a Farm," "Slippery Fish," and the "Alphabet Song," etc.
