Even before we turned the first page of our manga sets, students were lining up to call dibs on Volume 1 and planning book talks with their friends. That anticipation alone has shifted how they see themselves as readers with real choices, real voice, and real community. At the same time, our new comprehension worksheets have given us a smooth daily routine: short passages, quick checks for understanding, and immediate feedback. Students are already celebrating \"quick wins,\" and I'm using that data to tailor small groups the very same day.\r\n\r\nYour support is giving my ISE students calm, focused time. With headphones during OLPS, they need fewer reminders, finish more work, and feel more confident—\"I can finally hear my thinking,\" one student said.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our kids and equipping them with resources that are both joyful and practical. You've helped us build a classroom where curiosity turns into sustained reading, where practice feels doable (and even fun), and where every learner has a pathway to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1758821165795,"projectUrl":"project/manga-magic-and-mastery/9748023/","projectTitle":"Manga Magic and Mastery","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Tomita","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9439861_orig.jpg?crop=560,560,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705601956733","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9439861"},{"teacherId":8552381,"projectId":6861253,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our Class Dojo Store!
