Let customers speak for us
from 87 reviewsWonderful, teaching companion. My students are much more able to remember the story of magic he and his job.
My students love stuffies to reinforce a point and just for fun!
My 2nd grade students celebrated Schwa Day and the book and plushie were one of the highlights. The Schwa is so darn cute and my 2nd geaders loved having him read with them.The activities and the book's teacher plan were well thought out. Thank you for supporting students and teachers!
A great way to teach about Schwa!
I loved celebrating Schwa Day with my 1st graders and hope to make it an annual celebration. Thank you Yvette Manns for making Schwa known. Once I had learned about the Schwa sound, I always exposed my students to it. This year was special because I now not only had a plushie but a story to let them know "Schwa" is a
"thing"; ) They enjoyed the story and the activities that followed. I had some students comment every time they heard the schwa sound and can't wait to hear more as they realize Schwa is not so lazy after all. : )
Pretty high quality plush and oh-so adorable! I'm in love!
My tutoring student loved the PowerPoint game!!! He loves video games and I love when he learns things from awesome products!!!
My class loved this! Everyone that walked by did a double take and was so into it! I had so many questions about it! So fun!!!
Such a cute way to build understanding of one of the many jobs of “e”!
My students had a great schwa day and this set made it easy to prepare. They loved the hats. We used the word cards to practice finding the schwa in words.
The kids loved the game. It was a great mix of "fun" and "learning." I don't even think they realized they were working because they had so much fun. Thank you for making it free!
I love the Schwa Read Aloud and plush! I ordered it to celebrate National Schwa Day with my students in Prek-2nd. As a Literacy Specialist at a Primary School, these phonics read aloud and plushes really make the learning come alive and engages students with stories they can enjoy to help them remember concepts and sounds. My own sons wanted to carry the schwa around all day!
My kindergartners loved this story. They asked for it to be read multiple times while introducing this phonics pattern! I have purchased all the books that pertain to kindergarten phonics curriculum. All of the books have provided the students with an engaging introduction and source for reviewing some tricky patterns! Love the books! Thank you!
Excellent. My client that I tutor privately loved it. Your student(s) will love it.
These t-shirts are super soft! The fit was good! Our team loved wearing them on Schwa Day!
