My Project

It can be challenging for a beginning reader to want to pick up a book if they expect to struggle the whole time. A Tonie box would give my students the opportunity to enjoy their favorite books and stories without the pressure of being a perfect reader.

A Tonie box will be fun, but it also promotes language development and literacy for pre-readers.

My second-grade classroom has reading abilities ranging from kindergarten to fourth-grade readers. This can help all my students become better readers and enjoy reading with familiar characters that make it engaging. Research shows that Tonie boxes can increase comprehension scores by 60%, increase vocabulary scores by 66%, and improve attention by 53%.
