Reading these books instills confidence because children can hear their own (and their partners') smooth, fluent reading.\r\n\r\nThis set of books will be loved throughout the rest of this school year, and for many years to come. Students will continue to improve fluency and have fun while doing it. Our community is incredibly grateful for this gift, and your generosity.
