Because of your donation, my AllStars were able to enhance their learning experiences and phonological awareness. The students were completely engaged in the segmentation and replacement of sounds - which science has told us is the most efficient way for the brain to learn to read. The organizational materials (bins, baskets, etc...) helped the children take care of their surroundings and find materials at their level during learning times.\r\n\r\nBecause of the STEM materials, the children were not only more engaged in their learning, I was able to accomplish more due to the engagement of the students. Everything was organized and right at their fingertips.

We appreciate you easing the difficulty of learning to read and creating spatial awareness abilities and social situational understanding all while helping to make their school experiences not only meaningful, but so much fun!
