As a Title-I school, many of my students come from lower-income backgrounds, and for several of them, having their own chapter book was a brand-new experience. The moment these books landed in their hands, their eyes lit up! They were excited, curious, and genuinely eager to begin reading.\r\n\r\nAs we read Freckle Juice together in small groups, I saw students who normally feel overwhelmed by text suddenly engage with confidence. They laughed at the humor, predicted what might happen next, and proudly shared when they were able to read pages independently. One student told me, \"this is the most fun I have ever had reading!\", a huge breakthrough for a child who often feels defeated by reading.\r\n\r\nYour generosity created real momentum in our classroom. These books didn't just give my struggling readers something to read, they gave them a positive reading experience, a chance to feel successful, and a story they could enjoy and talk about. Thank you for believing in my students and helping them take meaningful steps forward as readers.","fullyFundedDate":1758827043635,"projectUrl":"project/getting-excited-about-reading-with-freck/9662450/","projectTitle":"Getting Excited About Reading with Freckle Juice!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Perkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10231015_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756432446487","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10231015"},{"teacherId":1953059,"projectId":9394878,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation!
