Bringing Stories to Life

Help me give my students books that go with our Tonies to help support student's reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sass's classroom raised $333

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students currently LOVE listening to stories and music on our classroom Tonieboxes. The great part about Tonies is that some of them have stories that students can follow along with if they have the book. This is a great tool for my non-readers to use when reading during the day.

This project would allow me to get books for all of my Tonies that have stories associated with them!

This way students will be able to follow along while listening and start building connections between what words look like and what they sound like.
