Because of your generosity, I've been able to introduce texts that teach different reading strategies, vocabulary in context, and how to compare perspectives across nonfiction and fiction. \r\n\r\nReading time has become more active and joyful—students chose books that speak to their experiences, read aloud with parents/siblings to build fluency. A few students who were reluctant readers were excited to actually get a book of their very own, and one English learner began using new academic words in her writing after reading a biography she chose. Your support is making reading visible, social, and powerful for every child in my room.\r\n\r\nMy English learners were suprised to see bilingual books and Spanish books! Their excitement was infectious.","fullyFundedDate":1768500735668,"projectUrl":"project/books-to-have-and-to-hold-on-to/9943386/","projectTitle":"Books to Have and to Hold on to.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Weaver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10372971"},{"teacherId":9875952,"projectId":9227051,"letterContent":"My class was so very grateful for your donations.
