We sorted them by level, and the students immediately began choosing stories to read during small groups and independent reading time. Their excitement was contagious! One student proudly said, \"This book is just right for me!\" while another eagerly showed a friend a story about animals she couldn't wait to read.\r\n\r\nSince then, these leveled readers have become essential to our daily reading groups. My younger students are using them to build foundational skills—recognizing letters, decoding words, and developing early fluency—while my older students are diving into more complex texts that challenge their comprehension and vocabulary. Books that meet each student right where they are have made an enormous difference. I've seen reluctant readers become more confident and motivated, and students are now eager to share what they're reading with their peers.\r\n\r\nOur next goal is to continue growing as independent readers. We'll use the leveled books for partner reading, fluency practice, and comprehension discussions to strengthen understanding and expression. These resources have opened many doors for my students, allowing them to experience the joy of reading success at their own pace. Thank you for helping make this possible—your generosity has transformed our classroom into a place where every child can see themselves as readers.","fullyFundedDate":1755692766732,"projectUrl":"project/reading-to-succeed-leveled-books-for-gr/9269492/","projectTitle":"Reading to Succeed: Leveled Books for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kinna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3493990"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78341","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":106,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":6,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":86.7,"schoolId":78341,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fort Shaw Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fort Shaw Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/sun-river-valley-sch-dist-55-f/ft-shaw-elementary-school/78341"}
