Your support has brought engaging and diverse books into our classroom, making a tangible difference in how my students interact with texts.\r\n\r\nIn our class, reading is more than just turning pages—it's an immersive experience. Students engage in discussions, analyze themes, make connections to their own lives, and practice critical thinking. These new books have introduced skills such as identifying literary devices, understanding character development, and drawing inferences. They have also provided opportunities for cultural exploration, allowing students to see themselves in literature while gaining insight into different experiences.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting transformations I've seen is in students who were previously reluctant readers. One student, who once struggled to find books that captured her interest, has now been eagerly recommending her favorite new titles to classmates. Another student, who is learning English as a second language, has found confidence in reading aloud, embracing stories that reflect his background and experiences.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students are not only reading but truly engaging with literature in meaningful ways.
