During an annotation lesson, a student grabbed sticky notes and whispered, \"This actually makes it easier to understand.\" That moment alone showed me how much access matters. These tools didn't just support learning—they gave students confidence and ownership.\r\n\r\nNext, we're moving into a multi-step writing project where students will track themes, build claims, and revise drafts. Because of these materials, they're starting from a place of readiness instead of limitation.
