In small groups, the books support targeted discussions, guided reading, and skill practice, while in whole-group lessons they encourage shared reading experiences and meaningful conversations. Your generosity has helped create a rich reading environment that fosters a love of reading and supports student growth, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1759070251499,"projectUrl":"project/turn-the-page-give-the-gift-of-reading/9450055/","projectTitle":"Turn the Page: Give the Gift of Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nguyen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6858553_orig.jpg?crop=833,833,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1569703020812","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6858553"},{"teacherId":4793897,"projectId":9519614,"letterContent":"My students were so overjoyed to find the new Xylophones at their desks when they returned from lunch!
