They have been thrilled with the real books because they used to always read from paper books, and there were not as many choices. The books offer an exciting array of topics in Nonfiction format! Kids are really finding joy in reading these books, and discussing what they are learning. \r\nI have seen so many students advance as readers, and many have gone through 2-3 reading levels since receiving the books! (A really cute seal game came with the shipment of books, and the younger students like earning a game as a reward. You throw soft rings and attempt to get them to land over each seal's nose.)\r\nThings are going so well with the new books, that they will likely be used all summer long, as I am planning to work at summer school this year.
