Book Nook for Braille and Large Print Literacy

Funded Apr 16, 2019

Thank you so much for your donations to my Book Nook for Braille and Large Print Literacy! I am so pleased and excited that we were able to provide some fun, flexible seating resources for my elementary school students. My students enjoy sitting in the floor chairs, following along with the unique features in the tactile books, and even using Hot Wheels cars on the traffic-pattern carpet as an incentive during free time.

When my students saw the materials, they all had responses as unique as they themselves are! One of my fourth graders was immediately drawn to the chairs and lap desks and wanted to "play school." We have since also done "real school" and practiced reading classroom spelling lists using Braille on the lap desks. My other fourth grader was drawn to the tactile books and really enjoyed the touch and feel mazes book. My first grader enjoyed hiding things inside of the lap desks for me to find later! I'm excited to see where our Book Nook items take us next!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Mason (aka Ms. Amy)
