A lot of my students need multisensory learning activities and these have been an amazing addition to their daily learning.

The graphic novels are a favorite for all the kids and they have been taking turns reading them. Everyday there are students reading these books and when it is time to stop silent reading they have a hard time putting the books down. \r\n\r\nThe Narwhal and Jelly books, Dog Man, Cat Kid, Babysitters Little Sister and the Wings of Fire books are in high demand but the students have been great about waiting until another student is finished to have their turn to read. I love seeing how the students are excited to read and engrossed in the books!\r\n\r\nMy students also are enjoying the I Survived Books, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Diary of a Pug. I like the world events that students are able to learn about in the I survived books but written in a way that engage them.\r\n\r\nWe are very thankful for the opportunity for all teachers to receive $500 this school year and we are definitely making good use of the books!","fullyFundedDate":1726425808336,"projectUrl":"project/novels-to-entice-a-love-for-reading/8781980/","projectTitle":"Novels to Entice a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Erler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9749743"},{"teacherId":9749451,"projectId":8781208,"letterContent":"My students receive speech language therapy because they struggle with language. This may mean they struggle to answer questions after hearing a story or they may have difficulty in re-telling a story they heard. A natural way to build language in my students is to incorporate books into my lessons. However, finding books that are at their receptive language level as well as books that are engaging can be difficulty. \r\n\r\nThat's where National Geographic books come in. One of the items I asked for in my Donor's Choose request was a set of National Geographic books. Kids are drawn to nonfiction and love learning about nature. In addition, the bright photographs support kids who may struggle to remember the information they heard or may need some extra visual support to help them answer questions. The multitude of subjects in the packet I received means everyone gets to learn about something they're curious about. \r\n\r\nThank you for donating to my Donor's Choose project! With you're help we're helping children learn about the world around them while building their language skills.
