The \"Building Bright Readers: Hands-On Literacy for 1st Grade\" project has brought so much excitement and purpose to our classroom. With the hands-on literacy tools and resources you helped provide, my students are actively engaging in phonics, word building, and comprehension activities that make reading come alive. These materials have allowed us to move beyond paper-and-pencil tasks to meaningful, interactive experiences where students can manipulate letters, blend sounds, and truly see how words work.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now feels like an adventure. During small group rotations, students use letter tiles, magnetic boards, and word-building centers to practice decoding and spelling. Others explore reading games and partner activities that focus on sight words, fluency, and vocabulary. These resources have turned learning into play, helping students strengthen essential reading skills while building confidence and teamwork. The classroom hums with laughter, collaboration, and the joy of discovery—it's a sound that reminds me daily how impactful your kindness has been.\r\n\r\nI've especially noticed the difference this project has made for students who struggled with traditional reading methods. One of my students, who used to shy away from reading activities, now eagerly participates in phonics games and proudly reads her word lists aloud. Another student enjoys helping his classmates during literacy centers, showing leadership and excitement that weren't there before. These are the moments that tell me your generosity is making a real difference—not just in skill development, but in how my students view themselves as readers and learners.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students are not only learning to read but are developing a genuine love for it. Each hands-on activity gives them a sense of accomplishment and shows them that reading can be both challenging and fun. You have helped create an environment where curiosity thrives and confidence grows with every word learned. Thank you for investing in our classroom and for helping to build bright, capable readers who are excited about their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1758202551654,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-readers-hands-on-litera/9715383/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Readers: Hands-On Literacy for 1st Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clausell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6880263_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755732446322","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6880263"},{"teacherId":6880263,"projectId":9342895,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students have developed a renewed excitement for reading through our \"Reading is Fundamental\" project. The new books you helped provide have allowed us to explore a wide range of genres, from imaginative stories that build comprehension and creativity to nonfiction texts that strengthen critical thinking and vocabulary. These resources have made it possible to teach essential reading skills—such as making predictions, identifying main ideas, and analyzing characters—through engaging, hands-on experiences that meet students at their individual reading levels.\r\n\r\nReading time in our classroom now feels alive with curiosity and joy. Students eagerly gather on the carpet with their books in hand, discussing characters, making connections, and sharing their favorite moments. We've also introduced small reading groups that allow students to collaborate and practice fluency while encouraging one another's growth. For many, reading has shifted from being just another task to becoming a daily highlight filled with discovery and confidence.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who once hesitated to read aloud, now volunteers to share during story time and often asks to take books home to read with his family. Moments like these remind me how impactful your donations truly are. You haven't just given us books—you've opened doors to imagination, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
