We have already made it through four Magic Tree House books, and they constantly ask, \"When do we get to read the next one?\" That excitement is something every teacher hopes for, and it's happening because of you.\r\n\r\nThese chapter books have helped my first graders take a big step forward moving from shorter, picture-heavy texts to longer stories with more words and deeper meaning. They are building reading stamina, strengthening comprehension, and learning how to follow a story across chapters. Most importantly, they are seeing themselves as real readers.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students not just books, but a love of reading that is growing every day. Your support has made such a meaningful and lasting impact in our classroom. 💙📚✨","fullyFundedDate":1766439571483,"projectUrl":"project/growing-readers-with-magic-tree-house-ad/9941928/","projectTitle":"Growing Readers with Magic Tree House Adventures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Conover","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10370619_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1765137009428","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10370619"},{"teacherId":3473398,"projectId":9686638,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom through DonorsChoose. Because of your generosity, my students now have new phonics games and decodable stories that we are using during small reading groups. These resources are helping students practice letter sounds, blending, and reading with more confidence, and they give us a fun, structured way to build foundational skills every day.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were immediately excited. They wanted to touch everything, flip through the stories, and jump right into the games. During our first small-group rotation with the phonics games, I saw students who usually hesitate start taking risks, sounding out words, and cheering each other on. It was one of those moments that reminded me how powerful the right tools can be for growing readers.\r\n\r\nNext, we will keep using these games and stories to strengthen decoding and fluency as we move through our current reading lessons. I will be able to target specific phonics patterns each week, reteach skills in a small group, and give students repeated practice in a way that feels motivating instead of stressful. Thank you again for giving my students extra support and making our small-group reading time more effective and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1763474800208,"projectUrl":"project/hooked-on-reading-phonics-games-for-gro/9686638/","projectTitle":"Hooked on Reading: Phonics Games for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bullis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3473398_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1455753165706","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/a-haynes"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79691","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":424,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":42,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":79691,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about R.J.
