Whether it's a fresh set of practice problems or a printed lab assignment, they're able to revise, reflect, and learn more efficiently.

That has never happened for some. Most don't have books at home, and they were not read to as children. I'm hoping that if they model reading behavior it will also inspire their brothers and sisters. Thank you again, on behalf of the students and from the bottom of my heart.\r\n\r\nThis is an Honors English class, some with incredible potential, so we practice aspirational reading and exposure to the largest variety of genres and styles possible. Some of the students are GATE (gifted & talented), and those especially leapt to the challenge of a deep-dive into Vonnegut.\r\n\r\nWithout your contribution, this would not have been possible.
