My Project

I will use these new stories to add to our monthly themes. Each of these stories will be augmented with visuals to help the children of the special education preschool classroom engage more during time. The smaller board books will allow for me to use smaller groups with my students. The board book quality will help the students manage the books easier and provide more durability! These books will be used during large group time as well as during small center times to allow the students to reinforce and practice the skills with the visuals and increase language
