While the sensory books provide immediate tactile engagement, the laminating paper you provided is a game-changer for our \"Adaptive Library.\"\r\n\r\nHow your donation of laminating paper creates adaptive literacy:\r\n\r\nCustomized Interactive Books: We use these sheets to create \"Velcro-ready\" adaptive books. We can now print specific icons associated the a story and laminate them so students can physically move a picture to match a page. This turns a passive reading experience into an active learning task.\r\n\r\nDurability for Exploration: Many of our students are still developing fine motor control. Lamination ensures that our custom literacy materials are \"preschool-proof,\" allowing children to touch, pull, and explore without the risk of tearing the pages.\r\n\r\nBy providing both the books and the means to create our own materials, you have given us the ability to meet each child exactly where they are. You are helping our students bridge the gap between a picture on a page and a meaningful concept in their minds.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in the potential of our students and for providing the literal \"glue\" that holds our adaptive curriculum together.\r\n\r\nWith sincere thanks,","fullyFundedDate":1768690458387,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-books-and-adaptive-books-for-pre/10030296/","projectTitle":"Sensory Books and Adaptive Books for preschoolers with special needs.","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-mike-reavis"},{"teacherId":1562029,"projectId":9698244,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our math supply project.
