My Project

One of my favorite things to do in my preschool classroom is read to my students during story time. Watching a child experience a story for the first or tenth time is always a heartwarming experience.

Please help me provide my students with interactive books to foster a love of learning!

Reading to children is incredibly important to develop early literacy and print skills. My students attend best to books that have interactive components, which is why I chose pop-up books and books with sensory pictures. I know my students would be excited to listen to these new stories, and with your help, this dream can become a reality.
