Thanks to your kindness, my classroom received much-needed reading resources that have truly transformed the way I teach and the way my students learn.\r\n\r\nThe materials—ranging from high-interest novel studies all the way to comprehension resources—have had a significant impact on my daily instruction. With these resources, I've been able to differentiate reading lessons more effectively, meet students at their individual levels, and engage them in texts that spark curiosity and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nHaving access to a variety of texts allowed me to implement small-group guided reading more successfully. I could target specific reading skills, such as fluency, inference, and comprehension skills, using books that matched students' instructional materials that were paired with our current novel studies. As a result, I saw increased confidence and enthusiasm among my readers, especially those who had previously struggled or felt discouraged.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the visual aids and hands-on literacy tools made the learning in our classroom more fun and engaging. They now approach our novel studies with independence and persistence, which has been incredible to witness.","fullyFundedDate":1745846914289,"projectUrl":"project/resources-and-creativity-with-tpt/9238538/","projectTitle":"Resources and Creativity with TPT!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Castillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2816586_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528985341012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2816586"},{"teacherId":4002649,"projectId":8417620,"letterContent":"The resources you provided us have transformed my classroom.
