Soaring Books and Storytime

Help me give my students an imagination rich storytime with books, sound effects, and music!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rae's classroom raised $741

My Project

My students love to read. I love to read to them.

Help us make storytime come alive!

I recently purchased a app called Novel Effect which uses the words that I read and adds sound effects for our amazing books during storytime! The only issue that students cannot hear these amazing sound effect from the speakers on my tablet alone!

Help me bring these books alive. I'm request two of our favorite books to use with this app, an iPad stand, and speakers.

Imagine a library where books become an multimedia experience. A place where we are soar as high as our imagination takes us. Your donation will take books to a higher level and help students fall in love with reading, books, and libraries.
