I have a current project with more books to provide even more to send home. The joy I see on their faces when they get their very own books almost brings me to tears. They are amazed that they get to keep the books! It's so precious because they are so excited. These books will provide our students with skills necessary for learning how to read.

I especially have loved them too because it's helped with fine motor skills for my growing students.
