The Kindles provide access to thousands of books, allowing students to explore stories that match their interests and reading levels. This variety has made reading more enjoyable and personalized for each student.\r\n\r\nThe technology also offers helpful features like adjustable font sizes, built-in dictionaries, and text-to-speech options, which have been especially beneficial for struggling readers and those with learning differences. These tools help students better understand the material and build confidence in their reading skills.\r\n\r\nWhat excites the students most is the independence the Kindles give them. They love choosing their own books and reading anywhere, whether in class or outside. Several students who were once reluctant readers have become eager to finish books on their own. Your support has truly sparked a love of reading in our classroom, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1718730086608,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-education-kindle-readers-fo/8300820/","projectTitle":"\"Empowering Education: Kindle Readers for Student Success\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Quintana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5851209_orig.jpg?crop=1205,1205,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650646070556","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5851209"},{"teacherId":9515349,"projectId":8761671,"letterContent":"Thank you again for donating to my Kindergarten classroom!
