The materials I receive are aligned with their current skills, ensuring each student gets the right amount of challenge and support, which helps them learn more effectively.\r\n\r\n2. **Increased Engagement**: Working with smaller groups helps me create a more interactive and personalized environment. With hands-on materials like books, reading games, and graphic organizers, my students are more engaged and active participants in their learning, making the experience more enjoyable.\r\n\r\n3. **Skill Development**: The specialized materials enable me to focus on specific skills such as fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and phonics. I can use these resources to build on each student's strengths and address areas where they need improvement.\r\n\r\n4. **Faster Progress**: With materials that are closely aligned to my students' needs, I can move at a pace that's right for each one. This allows for more personalized instruction, helping my students make progress faster and more confidently.\r\n\r\n5. **Increased Efficiency**: The materials save me time on lesson planning, allowing me to focus more on teaching and less on preparing. This lets me maximize the effectiveness of each session, ensuring my students get the best support possible.\r\n\r\nOverall, the materials for small group reading instruction have made my teaching more focused, efficient, and engaging, which has had a positive impact on my students' reading growth.","fullyFundedDate":1732238641988,"projectUrl":"project/small-group-instruction/8678796/","projectTitle":"Small Group Instruction","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Russell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9647765_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723401654912","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9647765"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72877","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":315,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":78.7,"schoolId":72877,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Abbot Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Abbot Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/ann-arbor-public-school-district/abbot-elementary-school/72877"}
