The stories introduce important reading skills such as identifying the main idea, making predictions, learning new vocabulary, and using text evidence to answer comprehension questions. The passages come with videos and vocabulary activities help introduce each story, build background knowledge, and get students excited about reading.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, students are working hard to build their reading stamina and confidence. Storyworks has also helped build a sense of community between my second and third graders, as students from both grade levels can read, discuss, and make connections to shared stories. The engaging materials help students feel successful, especially when they realize they can find evidence in the text to answer questions and share their thinking.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a student who struggles with reading become completely engaged in a story about a lizard and a dragonfly. He absolutely loves bugs and reptiles, and this story immediately captured his interest! It was wonderful to see him so excited about reading and participating in the lesson. Moments like these remind me how important it is to provide students with interesting, high-quality reading materials that connect to their interests.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping bring these wonderful resources into our classroom. Your generosity is helping students grow as readers, build confidence, and discover that reading can be exciting and fun!","fullyFundedDate":1789005847350,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-readers-with-storyworks/10497374/","projectTitle":"Engaging Readers with Storyworks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Copland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4585369_orig.jpg?crop=726,726,x1200,y706&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759346487476","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4585369"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93192","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":352,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":93192,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cerritos Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cerritos Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/savanna-school-district/cerritos-elementary-school/93192"}
