The pressure of reading regular novels and the embarrassment of having to read picture books in front of peers were gone. Our struggling readers were getting the materials that they had long for in the form of graphic novels that looked like regular novels but provided reading support. Their peers caught on to the reading buzz and started borrowing graphic novels to read to develop their reading fluency. All in all, everyone was reading thanks to your generous donations.","fullyFundedDate":1778685880359,"projectUrl":"project/graphic-novels-for-students-with-reading/10270130/","projectTitle":"Graphic Novels For Students With Reading Disabilities","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Saechou","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3188205_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472707943677","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-saechou"},{"teacherId":3188205,"projectId":10223819,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing our students with tri-fold display boards and accessories to jazz up our natural disaster presentations.

Since the earbuds arrived in early January, the students have been using them daily to improve their reading skills.\r\n\r\nThe majority of my students are English learners. In the past, they struggled to know how to pronounce words with irregular spellings. Now, however, when they encounter an unfamiliar word in their digital books, they can simply click on the word and hear the correct pronunciation. Emerging readers also benefit. They can enjoy entire books by following along with digital read alouds.\r\n\r\nMy students have also used the earbuds when watching tutorials as they progress through individualized math missions. Students are now able to progress in math at a pace appropriate just for them.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful for your generosity and support.
