Because of your donation, I was able to purchase multiple sets of Decodable Readers, which have already made a meaningful difference for my students. These books have opened the door for struggling readers to access texts that meet them right where they are, giving them the tools they need to practice important reading skills in a way that feels manageable and rewarding. Having the right materials in their hands has not only supported their growth, but it has also built their confidence as readers.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your gift goes far beyond just adding books to our shelves. It has transformed the reading experience for many of my students. I have seen hesitant readers light up with excitement when they realize they can read an entire book on their own, and I've watched motivation grow as success leads to a love of learning. These are moments that would not have been possible without your generosity. Thank you for believing in my students and for giving them the chance to experience the joy of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1744290621952,"projectUrl":"project/small-group-decodable-books-for-struggli/9192609/","projectTitle":"Small Group Decodable Books for Struggling, Aspiring Young Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McIntosh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9972884_orig.png?crop=200,200,x0,y16&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742495706734","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9972884"},{"teacherId":9009394,"projectId":9171786,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my classroom!
