These books have transformed our reading time. Because many students struggle, we read aloud and take turns, and these stories have made that routine exciting instead of stressful. Students are now asking when we can read next, and they often connect events in their own lives to the characters in the books.\r\n\r\nThese texts have helped us practice predicting, identifying character traits, and understanding how characters change. Several reluctant readers are now volunteering to read aloud because they feel connected to the stories. Your support gave our classroom books that spark confidence, curiosity, and real joy in reading.
