They love the erasers that I ordered. Students are reading in the decodable readers. They are just the right size and keep the student's attention while reading them. The zipper bags are a lifesaver!

They have an entire \"Knowledge\" bookshelf now that they are able to access. I keep all the domain read alouds readily available, and they have loved it! \r\n\r\nMy students have also loved being able to use the reading manipulatives that I received in my project. Their new favorite thing to use in small group are the finger highlighters; they think it is so fun to track their reading with these!
