My Project

Our classroom is comprised of diverse learners, ranging from 6th to 8th grade with varying abilities. Some of my students are non-verbal while others can read fluently. Their different disabilities can make reading challenging.

Our classroom was gifted a Tonies Box audio player for Christmas, and I would like to purchase more story characters for my students to enjoy.

The Tonies box system reads stories and plays music out loud. It can also be used with headphones. This was the perfect gift for the kiddos who cannot access books without someone reading to them.

With more Tonies Box characters, we will have a library of stories for everyone to learn and enjoy!
