My students love this resource during choice and leisure time — it's so popular that we created a daily rotation so everyone gets a turn.\r\n\r\nBeyond leisure use, the TonieBox has been incredibly valuable for my non-readers. It supports screen-free literacy activities and gives learners with severe intellectual disabilities meaningful choice and voice in their learning. The start/stop magnetic feature also helps them begin to understand cause-and-effect.\r\n\r\nOverall, the TonieBox has been a huge hit. I look forward to using it next year in a cozy listening corner and a calm-down area that all students can enjoy.
