My students in the 18-22 L.I.F.E. program were very excited to receive the reading pen. As the program builds independence in these students and prepares them for adult life, reading is a huge piece of the puzzle. This technology allows students in this program that have not been able to learn how to read, given their disability, access to their environment that they could never have dreamed of. It has allowed these young adults to read job applications, recipes, instructions, and more while given them a sense of accomplishment.","fullyFundedDate":1760890898653,"projectUrl":"project/when-traditional-reading-is-just-not-pos/9842355/","projectTitle":"When Traditional Reading Is Just Not Possible...","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7248599"},{"teacherId":1556770,"projectId":9823202,"letterContent":"The new Spanish books have made a big difference in how students experience reading in our classroom. Instead of focusing on isolated vocabulary or grammar, the books help students build real reading skills in Spanish—figuring out meaning from context, recognizing familiar words, and learning how to keep going even when they don't understand every single word. They're also picking up language structures naturally and getting more comfortable making sense of a whole text, which is a huge step in developing literacy in another language.\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom looks very active. Sometimes we read together as a class, sometimes students read with a partner, and other times they choose a book to read on their own. We talk about what's happening in the story, make predictions, and connect the books to students' lives. There's a lot more discussion and engagement than there used to be, and students are much more willing to try reading because the books feel accessible and interesting.\r\n\r\nSome of the biggest fans of the new books are students who normally don't see themselves as \"readers.\" Because the stories aren't overwhelming, those students are gaining confidence and actually choosing to read. Heritage speakers also really enjoy seeing familiar language and cultural connections in the books, and newer Spanish learners are often surprised and proud when they realize they can understand an entire story in Spanish. Overall, the books have helped students feel successful and motivated, which has made a noticeable difference in their literacy growth.","fullyFundedDate":1760380393150,"projectUrl":"project/la-literatura-en-la-clase-de-espaol/9823202/","projectTitle":"La Literatura en La Clase De Español","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rump","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1556770_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625778845719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/krump"},{"teacherId":6355212,"projectId":9824751,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support!

We discussed and debated about who was the real monster in the novel, nature verse nurture, how loneliness impacts people differently, and what Mary Shelley would have thought about today's advances in science. \r\nSome where shy to be photographed, but all wanted for me to express their gratitude for the books.
