Good morning,
We have a new pre-k program in our school. The teacher brings back what I
feel is large number of damaged books. Our early childhood program - same
age group but lower ability children- very rarely, if ever, has damaged
materials. The pre-k teacher feels that this is just going to happen with
this age group. She told me they are young and they are going to tear
things up. I was furious and unfortunately our principal doesn't see the
problem with books continually being damaged. She actually said, "you know
how to repair them, right?"
Sorry about the vent. I am hoping that someone out there can help point me
in the right direction. I was thinking about trying to get some board
books or sturdy early readers. Does anyone have a suggestion where I can
find these. I normally use Titlewave and have found board books. Are
there books between the sturdiness of board books and regular books? I
have very little experience in the age range and would really appreciate
the help.
Thank you,
Salli
