Your generous gift has already made a meaningful difference for our students.\r\n\r\nFrom the very first read-aloud, the book captured their attention. Even students who don't usually enjoy reading have been drawn into the story. They have been asking to take the book home, lingering after class to read a little more, and eagerly participating in discussions. Having their own copy has boosted students' confidence and willingness to read aloud, which is positively impacting their accuracy and fluency. I've noticed fewer hesitations, stronger word decoding, and more precise reading during partner and small-group work.\r\n\r\nProject Mulberry is also enhancing comprehension and classroom conversations. Students are making thoughtful connections between events and characters, asking insightful questions, and writing richer responses during reading journals and exit tickets. The book's themes and cultural perspective have opened up meaningful discussions about family, community, and resilience. It's been a wonderful way to introduce diverse voices and life experiences that reflect the variety of backgrounds in our classroom and beyond.\r\n\r\nYour support has given our students access to a story that not only improves reading skills but also teaches important life lessons.
