Phonics instruction can be difficult for some students to learn the foundational skills that will help them learn to read with ease. Learning decoding and encoding skills is mostly learned through hearing sounds in words and visual discrimination which can be difficult for some little learners. Adding materials that students can use to manipulate adds a motivating way to learn. The \"Learning to Read\" materials that you helped support have done just that for my little learners. They are colorful and bright and mostly the students can manipulate them to help them hear sounds in words in a fun and engaging way. \r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, I unboxed them and put them on the table. One student noticed they were out and was so excited to peek inside and dive right in. I finally put the materials on the floor and shared with them what they are and how they will help us learn. Their little hands went right to it and opened every package and started exploring. They especially liked the sound tube that makes a noise as you would stretch out a word. When you stretch the tube, it makes a pop noise. Other students were excited by manipulating the \"pop it\" tool to punch out sounds in words and they were also amazed using magnets to pick up as they sounded out simple words. Clean-up was easy as well because the materials are all color coded into a special bag for students to put away easily. I am excited to get these materials to work with individual students and in small groups to support their literacy skills. Having these tools will make learning meaningful and fun for my students and most importantly help them learn to read.\r\n\r\nHaving new and colorful materials are not only fun for students but exciting for teachers to have as well, especially when teaching difficult skills to students. Seeing the excitement the students have by using the \"learning to read\" materials make teaching reading all the more meaningful. I am delighted to have these new materials available for my students this year. Just seeing the students' excitement and engagement with just the exploration time they had, I know using the \"Learning to Read\" materials will be a great new addition to our phonics instruction. \r\n\r\n Thank you again for supporting my project and making a difference in the lives of little learners and their teacher.","fullyFundedDate":1727065470409,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-read/8813440/","projectTitle":"Learning to Read","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Breese-Mohney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4609427_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1501807010645","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4609427"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37873","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":322,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.3,"schoolId":37873,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clairemont Canyon Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clairemont Canyon Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-diego-unified-school-district/lindbergh-schoolweitzer-elementary-school/37873"}
