The humor and engaging characters not only capture their attention but also give them the motivation to practice phonics skills that used to feel overwhelming.\r\nYour support has made a true difference in helping struggling readers feel successful. Each week, students eagerly raise their hands to decode new words, make predictions, and connect phonics patterns to the stories we read aloud. Their confidence is growing, and the smiles on their faces show just how much fun learning can be when the right resources are in their hands.
