It especially comes in handy when working on more difficult sounds such as /r/. \r\n\r\nMy students also love Artic Chipper Chat!

They couldn't believe we had so many fun series to read like Dog Man, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Bad Guys, and Dork Diaries. Even my most hesitant readers were eager to pick up a book and start reading right away. Our new rolling cart has turned into a mini library, and it's amazing to see students proudly recommending books to each other.\r\n\r\nThe pastel rainbow rug has become our favorite spot in the classroom. We sit there for read-alouds and small-group lessons, and it makes our reading time feel warm and welcoming. The timer helps everyone stay focused during literacy centers, and the scented pencils, bookmarks, and fidgets have been great motivators for reaching reading goals.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was seeing a student who used to avoid reading finish a Dog Man book and immediately ask for another one. Their confidence and excitement are growing every day. Our next step is using these books in small groups to build comprehension and fluency. Thanks to these resources, my students see reading as something fun and rewarding, and that change has been incredible to witness.","fullyFundedDate":1760397504170,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-love-for-reading/9815773/","projectTitle":"Building a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8994135"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102670","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":609,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.5,"schoolId":102670,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mispillion Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mispillion Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/milford-school-district/mispillion-elementary-school/102670"}
