My Project

I love hearing kids retell the stories that I have read to them. These storytelling kits that go along with books that I read to them are perfect for encouraging that.

The more you read to kids the better readers they will become.

I say that to parents all the time. I try and read at least three books a day to my kindergarten students. My goal is for the kids I teach to become life long book lovers. These awesome Lakeshore storytelling kits will be a perfect addition to our classroom.
