Hear a Story, Grow a Reader: Toniebox for Early Literacy

Help me give my students learn to love storytelling and bring the magic of reading to life.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Koon's classroom raised $331

My Project

We are requesting funding to bring a Toniebox and a collection of Tonies to our elementary school library to support early literacy and foster a love of storytelling. The Toniebox is a screen-free, audio storytelling device that engages young learners through interactive, age-appropriate content. It’s ideal for emergent readers, English language learners, and students who benefit from auditory learning. This grant will help us create a cozy listening station where students can independently explore stories, build listening comprehension skills, and experience the joy of reading in a new and exciting way.
