Literacy research has proven that audio support can in fact assist in developing strong reading skills. My students were unable to fully access the resources provided in their reading program because the district budget did not allow for the purchase of student headphones.\r\n\r\nAll students in the district receive free breakfast and lunch given the level of poverty within our city. With food insecurity on their minds, it was difficult to ask parents and families to purchase headphones for school. Your generous donation will now permit my students to access audio and improve their reading proficiency. We are so very appreciative of your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1762267667472,"projectUrl":"project/listening-helps/9747923/","projectTitle":"Listening Helps","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1548371_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690912047591","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1548371"},{"teacherId":9463357,"projectId":8204996,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our chess project has transformed my 7th-grade students.

One student, Kayla, initially hesitant, became deeply engaged and surprised herself by successfully planning moves during a match. Now, we're forming a chess club to expand opportunities.
