My hardworking students, who once felt intimidated by dense blocks of text, are now diving headfirst into these stories, using the vibrant illustrations to decode complex dialogue with ease. Because they are naturally competitive, a 'reading race' has broken out to see who can finish the next volume first, turning literacy into a high-energy challenge. Even my most hesitant readers are now motivated to stay after class just to discuss a plot twist or a funny character moment. These books have done more than just teach vocabulary; they've built a bridge between their personal interests and their language goals, fostering a helpful environment where students are constantly leaning over to explain a new phrase or a cool drawing to a peer. You haven't just donated books—you've sparked a genuine love for reading and storytelling.","fullyFundedDate":1723700343989,"projectUrl":"project/manga-books-to-inspire-reading/8465560/","projectTitle":"Manga Books to Inspire Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Frias-Alba","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3349721_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1515792389152","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teresita-friasalba"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31066","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":615,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"23.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":72.3,"schoolId":31066,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Anton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Anton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-bernardino-city-unified-school-district/anton-elementary-school/31066"}
