My Project

Literacy is built in many ways, one of them is being read aloud to. The tonie box characters are great ways to build on literacy. The kids get to listen to different stories by choosing different characters.

Books are cool, but having a hand held character makes it better, don't you think!?

The tonie characters bring our stories to life. They bring music and inflections in tone to life! These modern read aloud audiobooks are great for our students. These characters allow our students to literally grab the character they want to read to them. The kids can even put the character onto the speaker to even work on fine motor skills!

Our students can pick books all day, but it's neat for them to pick an actual object/character to embark on a story journey with!
