They couldn't wait to try the word matching activities and games, and their enthusiasm reminded me how powerful hands-on learning can be.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the Touch & Read 2-Syllable Words Match, Touch & Read 3-Syllable Words Match, Match & Sort Vocabulary Quickies, and the Can Do! Prefixes & Suffixes Game during our small-group instruction and literacy centers. One memorable moment was watching students work together to break apart unfamiliar words using prefixes and suffixes. They were excited to discover that they could decode and understand challenging vocabulary on their own. The fluency activities have also helped students become more confident readers, and they look forward to practicing each day.\r\n\r\nAs we continue building our reading skills, students will use these resources to strengthen word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Our next steps include applying these skills to grade-level texts, expanding academic vocabulary, and becoming more independent readers. Because of your generosity, my students have engaging tools that make learning both meaningful and fun.

We've been working on close reading, building vocabulary from context, and discussing how characters grow and change over time. In our classroom, reading often looks like students partnering up to read aloud, stopping to discuss new words, and eagerly sharing their ideas during group discussions. Many of my students, especially those who are still building confidence as readers, feel proud when they recognize how much they understand and can contribute.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been able to identify with Mary and the fact that she had to leave the place where she was born because something bad happened. One student shared that the book makes them feel \"calm and hopeful,\" because Mary has strength to overcome the challenges in her life and bloom just like the garden. Seeing students who were once hesitant readers now asking for \"just one more chapter\" is truly powerful.
