The new phonics and leveled readers have completely transformed reading time in our classroom. These books are helping my first graders practice decoding, build fluency, and strengthen comprehension through fun and meaningful stories. We're using them to introduce phonics patterns, short and long vowels, and sight word recognition all key skills for beginning readers. The new bookshelf has also made it easier for students to find books that match their level and interests, making reading time something they look forward to every day.\r\nIt's been wonderful to see how much my students are enjoying these books. One student who struggled to read at the start of the year now asks to read Pete the Cat stories during independent time. Another student has gained confidence by reading Biscuit books aloud to a partner. Watching their faces light up as they finish a book on their own is the best reward. Your generosity has helped create a positive reading culture in our classroom, and I can't thank you enough for giving my students this opportunity to grow and love reading.","fullyFundedDate":1754874279511,"projectUrl":"project/a-reading-boost-with-books-theyll-love/9543133/","projectTitle":"A Reading Boost With Books They’ll Love","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bazan Pulido","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10114258"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15550","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":308,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":88,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":15550,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Apache Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Apache Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/fort-stockton-independent-school-district/apache-elementary-school/15550"}
