Because of your support, we have been able to provide a wide range of structured, multisensory learning materials rooted in the Orton-Gillingham approach. These resources—including decodable reading passages, targeted red word instruction, comprehension activities, and the Explode the Code and Explore the Code series—have made a meaningful difference in how our students access and build foundational reading skills.\r\n\r\nWith these tools, students are strengthening essential skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, encoding, and fluency. The explicit and systematic nature of this instruction allows learners to break down words, recognize irregular \"red words,\" and apply strategies that support both accuracy and confidence. In addition, comprehension work ensures that students are not only reading words but also making meaning from text, deepening their understanding and engagement.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is directly impacting our students' ability to become confident, capable readers. By supporting instruction that is intentional, research-based, and responsive to student needs, you are helping to lay the groundwork for lifelong learning and success. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and belief in our mission.","fullyFundedDate":1766282713232,"projectUrl":"project/oglearning-to-read/9952206/","projectTitle":"OG:Learning to Read","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abraham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4001266_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506278341306","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-faigyabraham"},{"teacherId":10238238,"projectId":9675501,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for bringing our classroom to life with a color laser printer. While many people use printers at home, in our classroom this technology has become an essential learning tool. Students are now able to publish their writing in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. Whether they are printing final drafts of essays, reading responses, or creative projects, seeing their work in color motivates them to take greater care in their writing, editing, and presentation. In addition, I can now provide clearer, more engaging materials—such as color-coded math models, graphic organizers, and reading passages—which helps students better understand complex concepts.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the opportunity to see their work transformed into something they can proudly hold and share. Printing in color makes their projects feel \"real,\" almost like books or professional pieces of work. Students love adding illustrations, highlighting important details, and organizing their thinking visually. This has been especially powerful during writing and ELA activities, where students can publish polished responses using the full writing process—drafting, revising, editing, and publishing.\r\n\r\nI've seen a noticeable impact on student confidence and engagement. Students who were once hesitant to write are now more motivated, knowing their work will be printed and celebrated. One student who struggled to stay focused during writing time now asks if they can print their work as soon as they finish, taking pride in producing their best effort. Another student has begun adding detailed illustrations and thoughtful formatting to enhance their ideas. Your support has helped turn everyday assignments into meaningful, shareable work, and my students feel like real authors because of you.","fullyFundedDate":1758019735186,"projectUrl":"project/prints-charming-4th-graders-work-broug/9675501/","projectTitle":"Prints Charming: 4th Graders’ Work Brought to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Babat","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10238238"},{"teacherId":10238238,"projectId":9950018,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students now have access to iPads that have completely transformed the way they learn.

Many of them immediately noticed it and were curious about how it works, which gave us a great opportunity to talk about air quality, health, and how we can take care of our environment.\r\n\r\nWe use our speech room for a variety of activities including articulation practice, language-based games, and social skills groups. Having the air purifier running during sessions has helped create a cleaner, more comfortable space where students can focus and feel at ease. This has been especially important during small group sessions, where students are sitting and interacting closely with one another.\r\nOne memorable moment was during a social skills group when a student commented on how the room \"felt fresher,\" which led to a great discussion using descriptive language and making connections to their own experiences. Moments like this naturally support our communication goals while also helping students feel more aware of their surroundings.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue to incorporate discussions about health, the environment, and personal well-being into our sessions. The air purifier is not only supporting a safer and more comfortable learning space, but also providing meaningful opportunities for language development and real-world connections.
