Because of your generosity, I was able to get so many new BOB books and easy reader activities for my lovebugs. We have only had the books for about 2 days now and I am already seeing an improvement in their reading skills. They are so excited to finish their work so they can get an easy reader book to read. I have some students that have struggled with reading all year and because of these special books & activities, they are EXCITED to read them! It really helps with their self confidence and I love it! \r\nNot only am I using the Versa Tile Bob books during our small group time, but I am also letting the lovebugs choose them as a center time activity if they wish. Some of my lovebugs love to read to their reading buddies and some of them choose to read with another friend instead. I am just excited to see them choose a book as their free time activity. \r\nThank you again for supporting my Kindergarten classroom!
