I was thinking about the touching problem today when I was reading with my groups, they don't know what to do with their finger. I can't wait to get my hands on more of these!<br />(p.s. I think there is a spelling error on the little book the teacher is holding - bulleying should be bullying) ;)<br /><br />TawnyaTawnyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890473309857718286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593405645178985306.post-65258117629023129562011-09-01T15:25:36.433-07:002011-09-01T15:25:36.433-07:00Fran the "the" book is great.

It's definitely not as cute as yours, but I wanted you to know that you inspire me to make creative, engaging materials for my incoming Kinders. Next year will be my first year in Kindergarten and I've already gotten so many great ideas from your blog. It's fabulous!<br /><br />If you'd like to see my blog, you can check me out at kindergardenscholars.blogspot.com<br /><br />Thanks!Jennifer Roanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848974599464269146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593405645178985306.post-35855285752140338772011-07-22T17:30:26.944-07:002011-07-22T17:30:26.944-07:00I used this today with some almost kinderkids.

The dots under the words instantly had all the kids tracking.
