As the students follow along as I read the stories, I could truly feel the excitement in their little bodies and wonderment on tiny faces.\r\n\r\nOur ELA, and our Science curriculum contain regular read-alouds with big books and the use of the the Big Book Display has allowed my students to experience the curriculum on an extraordinary level with use of the display.
