Katie Owens, ELA Resource Teacher at Coulwood STEM Academy, Charlotte NC

"I've seen a particular student - who never engages - read and listen to stories on Books that Grow and really engage with the story. She was giggling and giving expression as she read it on her level on Books That Grow. I didn't even have to explain what was happening in the story."
