My Project

My students would be thrilled to have a Toniebox listening center in our special education classroom. The Toniebox uses fun characters and engaging stories to capture attention, spark imagination, and make learning joyful. With every story, students can practice listening comprehension, language development, and social-emotional skills in an interactive way. This resource will also encourage independence, focus, and a love of storytelling at their own pace. A Toniebox would truly bring stories to life and help my students grow through the power of play and learning. Your support will help make this exciting experience possible.
