When it rains, it pours! Here are the books everyone at kbc has been reading and recommending!
2000+ Reward Stickers: A Fun Sticker Book for Teachers and Parents – Encouraging and Celebrating Kids’ Achievements with Over 2000 Stickers. For 6 years+ (32 pages). Amardeep highly recommends this. In her words, “Getting kids to do anything, usually requires providing lots of motivation and encouragement. Thankfully the smallies, like Neil, are easily encouraged by reward stickers. I give him one for good work done, good behaviour and even for just cleaning up properly. He loves choosing his own sticker as a reward, and also chooses where he wants to put it – on his notebook, hand or t-shirt! If you too are looking for a reward sticker book, this one is amazing – it has thousands of different types, big and small, with many different wordings, animals and fun sayings! This is a must have reward sticker book to encourage kids during study…”
