The moment the books arrived, students were excited to explore the different titles, look through the pages, and choose books that interested them. Having access to new and engaging books helped create excitement around reading and encouraged students to read more often. Students discovered new genres, authors, and topics while building their vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and love of reading.\r\n\r\nThe book sets also provided valuable opportunities for students to learn together. Students could discuss characters, make connections, share their thinking, and participate in meaningful conversations about what they were reading. For many students, having books available that matched their interests and reading needs helped build confidence and encouraged them to see themselves as successful readers. This project has helped make reading a more enjoyable and meaningful part of our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful for the generosity that made it possible.","fullyFundedDate":1773801832801,"projectUrl":"project/open-doors-with-books/10149771/","projectTitle":"Open Doors With Books","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Orozco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3445833_orig.jpg?crop=1124,1125,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626982264611","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mssoto1"},{"teacherId":1315330,"projectId":10165458,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping us add a Tuff Tray stand to our kindergarten classroom!
