These magazines have turned reading into an active, joyful, and engaging experience for everyone.\r\nStoryworks introduces students to a rich variety of genres—nonfiction articles, short fiction, drama, poetry, debates, and more. Because of this, students are practicing a wide range of reading skills. The topics are current, relatable, and designed to spark critical thinking, so students naturally develop comprehension, discussion, and writing skills in ways that feel meaningful to them. Even some of our reluctant readers are now excited on \"magazine days,\" because the visuals, accessible text, and engaging topics make reading feel less intimidating and much more fun.\r\nYour support has done more than provide magazines—it has opened our students' minds to new ideas, strengthened their reading skills, and made literacy something they genuinely look forward to. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to learn, explore, and grow through high-quality, engaging texts.","fullyFundedDate":1755308992813,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-readers-with-storyworks/9308215/","projectTitle":"Empowering Readers With Storyworks!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Allerton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9539224"},{"teacherId":9539224,"projectId":9308071,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom now has a beautiful collection of Spanish-language books that are already making a tremendous difference for our bilingual and monolingual Spanish-speaking students. These books have become both a bridge to academic growth and a source of pride in their language and identity.\r\nThese books allow students to strengthen literacy skills in their home language, which is essential for long-term academic success. Students are practicing decoding, fluency, and vocabulary development in Spanish—skills that directly transfer to stronger reading abilities in English as well. Many of the texts also introduce cultural themes, folktales, and characters that students deeply relate to. This helps them build confidence, comprehension, and cultural awareness all at once. They're learning to discuss plot, identify themes, analyze characters, and make inferences in the language in which they feel most capable.\r\nYour support hasn't just added books to our shelf—it has affirmed students' identities, strengthened their literacy foundation, and brought joy and confidence to readers who deserve it. Thank you for believing in them and helping our classroom become a place where their language and culture are celebrated.","fullyFundedDate":1755308993052,"projectUrl":"project/spanish-novels-for-my-6th-grade-bilingua/9308071/","projectTitle":"Spanish Novels for my 6th Grade Bilingual Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Allerton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9539224"},{"teacherId":2264294,"projectId":9677326,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing these books for my classroom.

There are several kids in the class who are currently overcoming some really tough challenges, including a few students who have unexpectedly lost parents, so they can relate to the characters.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for letting me introduce this amazing story of grit and perseverance to my students.
