With this carefully curated selection of fiction and non-fiction texts, students will practice identifying main ideas and key details, making inferences, summarising, identifying character traits, using context clues, and supporting their thinking with evidence from the text. Reading and discussing the books with their classmates will also strengthen their vocabulary, comprehension, communication, and critical-thinking skills.\r\n\r\nMy students absolutely love the books! It has been especially wonderful to watch students show off their books to their classmates and friends and get excited about discovering new titles, genres, and characters.","fullyFundedDate":1715127653039,"projectUrl":"project/for-the-love-of-reading/8330694/","projectTitle":"For the Love of Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp257873_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479029299062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-calasanti"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122346","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":175,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.1,"schoolId":122346,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Los Angeles Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Los Angeles Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/new-los-angeles-charter-elementary/122346"}
