My Project

Reading can be a struggle for my students with special needs. For them, a Toniebox isn't just another toy. It gives them the opportunity to enjoy stories without struggle and the independence to do so without asking for help. Shower them with a love for reading, language, and learning with lots of new Tonie read-aloud stories. They deserve it!

"The knowledge that forms a foundation for reading is built throughout early childhood through play, language and literacy experiences." -Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell

My goal for this project is to encourage independence, play, and further my students reading abilities. Big hearts shape little minds.
