My scholars have enjoyed reading different genres of books where the characters look like them. We have had conversations about how the characters of the books are similar or different to them. Furthermore, my scholars have enjoyed seeing how characters who look like them can be represented in graphic novels, realistic fiction, sports fiction and many other genres. Overall, your donation has helped my scholars build confidence and enjoyment in reading. I am excited to see how our reading journey develops this school year!

Many of my students are struggling readers who need books that are not only appropriately leveled, but also interesting and age-appropriate. Having a variety of high-interest books available in our classroom will give students the opportunity to choose texts that connect to their interests while reading at a level where they can experience success.\r\n\r\nOur classroom library will support students in developing important literacy skills, including fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, identifying the main idea, making inferences, and building reading stamina. Reading in our classroom looks different for every student. Some read independently, some read with a partner, and others benefit from teacher support. A well-stocked library will allow each student to find books that meet their individual needs and provide more opportunities to practice reading in a comfortable, supportive environment.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project will help our students build confidence and see themselves as capable readers. For students who may have experienced frustration with reading in the past, finding a book they genuinely enjoy can change their attitude toward literacy. Your support will help create a classroom library that encourages curiosity, choice, independence, and a love of reading that extends beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1778251794662,"projectUrl":"project/building-readers-one-book-at-a-time/10272638/","projectTitle":"Building Readers, One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Royal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10484909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777732211149","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10484909"},{"teacherId":10484909,"projectId":10217357,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating engaging, leveled books to our middle school special education classroom in the Austin neighborhood. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our students' reading experiences. For many of our students, finding a book that is both interesting and accessible can be challenging. These new texts have given our students more opportunities to experience success while developing their reading skills.\r\n\r\nThe new books introduce and reinforce important skills such as decoding, fluency, vocabulary development, comprehension, sequencing, making inferences, identifying the main idea, and making connections to characters and events. Just as importantly, they help students practice choosing books, building stamina, and developing confidence as independent readers.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading looks different for every student. Some students read independently at their own level, while others read with a teacher or partner. We also spend time discussing what we read, making predictions, asking questions, and connecting the stories to our own experiences. The new books have helped make reading feel less like an assignment and more like an opportunity to explore something interesting.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially enjoyed having books that match their interests while also being at a level where they can experience success. Students who may have previously been hesitant to pick up a book are now more willing to browse the classroom library, select a title, and give it a try. Seeing students become excited to share a character, funny moment, or interesting fact from a book with their classmates has been especially rewarding.\r\n\r\nYour donation has provided much more than books. It has provided choice, confidence, independence, and opportunities for our students to see themselves as readers. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every student can find a book that sparks curiosity and supports their growth.","fullyFundedDate":1778101062132,"projectUrl":"project/accessible-books-empowered-readers/10217357/","projectTitle":"Accessible Books, Empowered Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Royal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10484909_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777732211149","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10484909"},{"teacherId":4484164,"projectId":10231629,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for my materials you have purchased for my classroom.
