Because of you, my classroom has been transformed into a space where students feel supported, confident, and motivated to grow as readers.\r\nI have used all of the lab materials, with a strong focus on my students at lower proficiency levels. Through intentional small-group instruction for students in MTSS Tier 2 and Tier 3, I provided explicit instruction in phonics, decoding, fluency, and vocabulary—skills many of my students had never been taught before arriving in U.S. schools. What stood out most was their willingness to learn. Students came to the lab eager to practice, ask questions, and try again, even when the work felt challenging.\r\nOne of the most exciting outcomes has been measurable growth. Several students have already moved up to the next ARC color level, which has been incredibly empowering for them. They are beginning to see themselves as capable readers, and that confidence is carrying over into their other classes.\r\nThe books included in this grant have also been a huge success. Because many of them were written at accessible Lexile levels, students could read independently with confidence. Engagement increased immediately—students were reading more, participating more, and proudly sharing what they understood. For many, this was the first time reading felt possible instead of frustrating.\r\nI am deeply grateful for these amazing resources. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on my students' literacy development and self-belief. Thank you for investing in their futures and for believing in the power of language and learning.","fullyFundedDate":1760373706634,"projectUrl":"project/phonics-library-for-mll-secondary-studen/9822727/","projectTitle":"Phonics Library For MLL Secondary Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coverdale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10310204"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44596","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":460,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":44596,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Beacon Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Beacon Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/cape-henlopen-school-district/beacon-middle-school/44596"}
