I have noticed great growth in my struggling readers. The students just took their reading diagnostic test yesterday and I saw some very positive growth patterns.\r\n\r\nThe majority of my students are one to two grade levels behind. Thanks to your donation of these books, I have seen some students that were one grade level behind move up to grade level and some that were two grade levels behind move up to only being one grade level behind. We are closing the gap with the use of these phonics books. I am so excited to see the growth, and it was only possible because of your generosity to my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1735416173601,"projectUrl":"project/you-can-never-have-too-many-books/8828306/","projectTitle":"You Can Never Have Too Many Books!!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Salter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9746345"},{"teacherId":9750854,"projectId":8786300,"letterContent":"On behalf of our entire STEM club, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation.
