Because of your gift, my kindergarten students now have access to a brand-new set of decodable texts that align closely with the phonics skills we are teaching under the science of reading framework. These books give them the chance not just to recognize phonics patterns, but to apply them in real reading situations. They are strengthening accuracy, fluency, automaticity, and comprehension. Your gift helps bridge the gap between classroom instruction and independent reading practice by offering just-right challenges that boost confidence.\r\n\r\nIn our reading block, you will now see excited learners eagerly choosing the decodable books during guided reading rotations. Some students begin with the teacher-led phonics focus lesson, then break into small groups and pick a book from our new shelf. While they read, I circulate and prompt them with questions like: \"What vowel sound do you hear here?\" or \"What spelling pattern do you recognize in this word?\" They then reread the text to build fluency, looking for increasingly smooth phrasing and meaning that makes sense. After reading we talk about how the patterns they practiced helped them read new words with more ease. Because these texts are familiar in pattern yet new in vocabulary, students are challenged but set up for success, a combination that fuels a love of reading.\r\n\r\nOne of my sweetest observations: a student who arrived in August reluctant to read aloud is now confidently selecting a decodable book and saying, \"I got this one!\" She does not want me to help her read every word anymore, she is finding the patterns and pushing herself. Another child with foundational gaps in phonics is rereading the same book three times this week and saying, \"I can read it faster now!\" Your donation is making the difference in helping these young readers feel capable, valued, and excited about reading. Thank you for giving them that chance to shine.","fullyFundedDate":1746800156665,"projectUrl":"project/read-repeat-succeed-decodable-books-f/9255984/","projectTitle":"Read, Repeat, Succeed: Decodable Books for Early Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reinartz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1034765_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1451680221960","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-reinartz"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16550","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":542,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":19,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.6,"schoolId":16550,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Indian Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Indian Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/lewisville-independent-school-district/indian-creek-elementary-school/16550"}
