These books have also filled a need we had regarding blends. We are able to utilize the books as immediate practice with blends after introducing the concept to or reviewing the concept with our students. The application is the most powerful piece of learning, and that is the role these books are fulfilling. By funding this project, you have made a difference in the lives of our students. \r\n\r\nThe students are so proud of themselves because they are able to read books!
