After much debate, I finally choose the Tag Readers and books for our Donors Choose project. These School Tag Readers will be an excellent activity to do during our new Daily 5 time as well as free choice time. A Tag Reader is a special pen that will read stories to children. I am so excited about these and I know our students would LOVE them!!! Check it out here.
Another reason why I chose these for our classroom is that I had something similar when I was growing up. I had a Teach Me Reader. The Tag Readers are much more advanced obviously, but the Teach Me Reader was definitely pretty cool back in the 80's! I vividly remember touching the words to hear the story. I'll never forget when it finally clicked for me, and I could read the words on my own! When I was thinking about these, I called my mom and she still has mine down in the basement! I'll have to save that one for AJ if it still works, but I actually found a picture of one online! I hope our students can have the same experience I had by using these Tag Readers. So go check out our project!! Tell everyone about it! The more people that know the more donations we could get!
