These stories have quickly become a classroom favorite — and thanks to your support, we now have enough copies for all of our students to enjoy and share together.\r\n\r\nAs many of you know, loving books is just the beginning — teaching reading is where the real magic happens. These books are the perfect blend of fun and foundational learning. With their expressive characters, simple yet powerful language, and engaging storylines, Elephant and Piggie books help us teach important early reading skills like:\r\n\r\nDialogue and expression – Students learn how characters speak and feel, and how to read with emotion.\r\n\r\nSight words and repetition – These books build fluency by reinforcing key words in an enjoyable, predictable way.\r\n\r\nMaking inferences – Even though the text is simple, students learn to read between the lines using the characters' faces and actions.\r\n\r\nTurn-taking and partner reading – The back-and-forth style of the books makes them perfect for reading in pairs, helping students build confidence and social connection while they read.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide books — it helped create a classroom full of readers who are excited, engaged, and building essential literacy skills every day. From all of us: thank you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1759929929849,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-readers/9784172/","projectTitle":"Engaging Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Teacher Ravensberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4060922_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659735132159","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ravensberg"},{"teacherId":4060922,"projectId":9018196,"letterContent":"On behalf of myself and my students, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation to our classroom.
