With the Teachers Pay Teachers resources purchased through this project, I have been able to provide differentiated and engaging lessons in English language arts (ELA) and math that truly meet my students where they are.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects for my students has been the variety of interactive and visual supports now available to reinforce concepts. From adapted reading comprehension activities to hands-on math resources, these materials have made learning more accessible and engaging for every student. Some students who previously struggled with certain skills have shown increased confidence and participation because the new resources provide the right level of support and challenge.\r\n\r\nThis project has made a lasting impact on my classroom by allowing me to continuously find and implement materials that best support my students' academic growth.

Finding books that are both interesting and appropriate for older students with emerging reading skills can be a challenge, but these new resources have given my students books they are excited to pick up. Seeing their faces light up when they successfully read a book from start to finish has been truly rewarding.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who has struggled with reading for years, now eagerly selects books from our library, determined to improve his skills.
