Looking for classroom must-haves for next year? Definitely check out Toobaloo's.
I absolutely LOVE my Toobaloo's from Really Good Stuff. They have saved my sanity in small group reading!
When all my kiddos are whisper reading it can be really distracting for some group members... not to mention the teacher!
Toobaloo's allow the kids to hear themselves reading, which is great for their accuracy, self-correcting, and fluency.
They LOVE using their "telephones" during reading group. While they are all reading at the same time, I can lean in to an individual and ask them to read directly to me. It's a win-win for everybody!
If you don't want to buy these, you can even make your own. There are so many versions on Pinterest (check out these Pins) that you can create using PVC pipes.
Happy Reading!
Thanks so much for reminding me about these. I've wanted to make a set for a while now, so I just added this to my summer list!
