Lessons have become more individualized, dynamic, and responsive to student progress, rather than scripted and one-size-fits-all. \r\n The program's unique activities, such as Switch It and Blend As You Read, rapidly build students' sound-based decoding skills—a critical component for all early readers. Students are not only learning to decode and blend words—they are excited about reading and feel proud of their improvements, which you, our donors, made possible.

Thanks to your kindness, my students—many of whom struggle with decoding, vocabulary, and reading fluency—now have the opportunity to experience a structured, research-based program designed specifically to build critical reading skills and strengthen their confidence as learners. \r\n Prior to receiving this program, several of my students often felt frustrated during independent and classroom reading, which not only hindered their academic growth but also discouraged their willingness to participate. With Rewards, I am already noticing a significant change in their attitude toward literacy. The explicit strategy-based lessons in the program have allowed them to break down multisyllabic words, comprehend complex texts, and read with greater accuracy. More importantly, I see them experiencing moments of genuine pride when they are able to tackle challenging passages and discuss what they have read with their classmates.
