    Why Teachers Love These Compliment Bookmarks

    “My class is K-2 ASD, but during literacy week this year, we were paired up with a 5th grade class. Typically, that would be reading buddies, but we had to be creative because of Covid. We decided each student would make a bookmark for their buddy. It was great!”
    – Hillary, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 5th grade students on the Autism spectrum
    “I actually printed all of these bookmarks and stapled them to a bulletin board. The students pulled them off and shared them with someone else in the class. They were gone in a few minutes, and they wanted to continue it for the rest of the week. Such an important topic! Thank you.”
    – JoAnn, 4th grade teacher
