This is so important because children need to hear fluent reading daily. They enjoy hearing stories that enrich their learning experience. \r\nWithout your help, I could have never afforded this rug on my own.

Students who typically excel in abstract problem-solving are now experiencing the joy of long-term scientific investigation.
