<div dir="ltr">I've always <u>highly</u> recommended the AWE Early Literacy Station ever since I first saw it years ago when one of my libraries purchased one with money from a small grant.<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.awelearning.com/en/markets/libraries/in-the-library/the-early-literacy-station/">http://www.awelearning.com/en/markets/libraries/in-the-library/the-early-literacy-station/</a><br>
<div><br></div><div>They're an excellent set-it-up-and-forget-about-it solution and the kids (and parents) absolutely LOVE them. I used to try to put together a solution like that myself, but once these came along, I stopped. I couldn't do nearly as good a job as AWE has. Worth every penny and then some.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>They're also perfect for small grants/gifts from local businesses.</div><div><br></div><div>Chad</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br>
