[CASL-L] Playaways

[Burdacki, Sarah]

Hi Allison,

I have about 50 Wonder Books in my K-6 library. I allow grade 2-6 to borrow
them. I think they're great. I prefer them to playaways because they have a
USB charger as opposed to a battery, they only take an hour to charge, and
the audio component is attached to the book. They're great for below grade
level readers to access grade level texts.

I have had a few audio components detach from the book, but we were able to
glue them back on.

Hope this helps,

Sarah
