I use this to teach the students their math facts, like counting by 10s and grouping as well as place value. This supports student learning because I use these books to model what they, the students, should be doing and how to do it, but it also helps me to see which students can do it on their own, and which ones would need additional support. The Journey’s textbook are also district assigned texts that all the grades are using, I could use this to help students learning, by reading the stories from
