Background

In this project, we created children's books with math skills embedded in them.  We created 51 books, each designed to teach a specific skill related to counting, numerals, classification, shape and spatial sense, patterning, or measurement.  The books were designed to be used with the demonstration-practice procedure.  We conducted two single-case design studies to investigate the efficacy of an intervention using the children's books (one in Summer 2022 and one ongoing).
