By providing accessible stories with relatable themes and age-appropriate content, these books create a safe entry point into reading. Students who may have previously avoided books begin to see reading as something they *can* do, which fosters a sense of achievement and motivates them to read more frequently and independently.\r\n\r\nIn addition to boosting confidence, lower-level books support comprehension by using clearer language and more structured narratives. This allows students to focus on understanding plot, character development, and literary elements without becoming overwhelmed by complex vocabulary or dense text. As a result, students are able to develop foundational skills in a way that feels manageable, leading to deeper engagement with the material and a stronger grasp of literary techniques that will support them as they progress to more challenging texts.\r\n\r\nI want to extend a heartfelt thank you to those who made it possible to bring these books into our classroom. Your generosity has directly impacted students who now feel seen, supported, and empowered in their reading journey. Because of your support, more students are picking up books, finding joy in stories, and building the skills they need to grow as readers. Your kindness has made a lasting difference, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1749693478573,"projectUrl":"project/build-a-bridge/9126834/","projectTitle":"Build a Bridge","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parrish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8313389_orig.jpg?crop=1552,1552,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651264026729","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8313389"},{"teacherId":8313389,"projectId":9126828,"letterContent":"Donations of Sharpies, highlighters, and other essential classroom supplies greatly benefit my 8th grade ELA students by providing them with the tools they need to actively engage in their learning. These materials help students annotate texts, organize their thoughts, and highlight key information during reading and writing activities. When students have access to these supplies, they're better able to interact with literature in meaningful ways, identify literary elements, and strengthen their comprehension and analytical skills.\r\n\r\nIn addition, having a well-stocked classroom ensures that every student, regardless of their personal circumstances, can participate fully. Not all families are able to provide their children with extra school supplies, and donations help bridge that gap, promoting equity and inclusion. When students have access to the same quality materials, it creates a more unified and focused classroom environment where all learners feel prepared and valued.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, these supplies also foster creativity and independence. Students use different colors to categorize information, make visual connections between ideas, and develop personalized study habits that support their learning style. Simple tools like Sharpies and highlighters empower students to take ownership of their learning, boosting both their confidence and engagement. Donations directly enhance the day-to-day classroom experience and contribute to long-term academic growth.","fullyFundedDate":1746726879430,"projectUrl":"project/let-me-draw/9126828/","projectTitle":"Let Me Draw…","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parrish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8313389_orig.jpg?crop=1552,1552,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651264026729","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8313389"},{"teacherId":9804889,"projectId":8881916,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom.

They allow for real-time participation and collaboration, and the students love them.
