Their curiosity and excitement were clear as they explored the new tools, and many students asked when they could start using them. The materials felt special to them, which helped build enthusiasm and a positive attitude toward learning right from the start.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the materials, student engagement has continued to grow. The magnet letters attached to a rolling whiteboard provide easy access for practicing phonics, and students are enjoying the snap-and-match rhyming game, often viewing it as a fun reward at the end of reading time. They are also using the fluency cards to build their reading fluency and are highly motivated to discover what each new story will be about next.","fullyFundedDate":1760665580903,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-literacy-learning-in-a-self-co/9830697/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Literacy Learning in a Self-Contained Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sudimak","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10312835"},{"teacherId":5111220,"projectId":9819950,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, these new books are already having a big impact in our classroom.

The new texts have sparked excitement and increased engagement during reading.\r\n\r\nSeveral students, especially reluctant readers, are now more motivated to read because they see books that match their interests.
