Exploring Communication Through Children's Books

Funded Aug 28, 2018

Thank you so much for investing in my students and their love of reading. Most of my students are unable to read independently but really enjoy when teachers and staff read books aloud. The students are truly engaged in the stories by smiling, laughing, looking and pointing at the pictures.

The books you've provided to these students have simple vocabulary and colorful pictures. My colleague and I have chosen 4-5 common vocabulary words from each book. We video record ourselves reading the books while using picture symbols for the common vocabulary. The classroom teachers play the book videos throughout the day while continuing to highlight the picture symbols.

Your generous donation has allowed all the students in my school to access timeless literature and learn new functional vocabulary at the same time!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Brothers
