“It helps to enhance our reading and listening skills”Belleview Elementary, Kindergarten Teacher

“It is so nice for students to hear stories told in a different way, rather than being read to from a book. It allows the students to learn that telling stories is another way of learning and being exposed to literature.” – Cherry Hills Village, 5th Grade Teacher
