Your support is already making a meaningful difference for our middle school students who are enrolled in reading intervention classes.\r\n\r\nMany of our students struggle to access grade-level texts independently, which can make reading feel frustrating or out of reach. The books you provided, paired with their matching audiobooks, give students a powerful tool: the ability to listen and read simultaneously. This combination supports comprehension, builds fluency, and helps students experience reading success at their grade level, often for the very first time.\r\n\r\nAn unexpected and joyful outcome has been watching students genuinely enjoy reading again. With the support of the audiobooks, they are diving into series they never would have been able to access before. Students are asking for the next book, discussing characters with their classmates, and proudly sharing that they finished a title on their own. This renewed excitement for reading is something we could not have achieved without your support.\r\n\r\nEven more importantly, these resources boost students' confidence. When students see themselves understanding and finishing books they once thought were too difficult, their mindset shifts. They begin to view themselves as capable, growing readers.\r\n\r\nYour contribution impacts approximately 200 students this year, and the benefits will continue for years to come. Thank you for investing in our learners, believing in their potential, and helping to create a classroom where every student can access meaningful, engaging literature.","fullyFundedDate":1752164542435,"projectUrl":"project/hear-to-read-turning-up-the-volume-with/9239664/","projectTitle":"Hear to Read: Turning Up the Volume with Ear-Resistible Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sweet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1888094_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625675429179","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1888094"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43715","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":763,"numTeachers":78,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.0,"schoolId":43715,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Illing Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Illing Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/manchester-public-school-district/illing-middle-school/43715"}
