I teach English Learners in kindergarten through sixth grade in a small Nebraska school district, and your gift allowed us to purchase a hands-on alphabet set that will make such a meaningful difference for my students. For children who are learning English while also learning to read, being able to see, touch, move, build, and practice with letters gives them another powerful way to connect sounds with print and develop the foundational skills they need to become successful readers.\r\nYour generosity has given my students much more than a new set of classroom materials—you have given them opportunities to learn through play, build confidence, and experience those wonderful moments when letters and sounds begin to make sense. In a small school, gifts like yours have an especially meaningful impact. Please know that your kindness will be felt every time a child picks up a letter, builds a word, recognizes a new sound, or proudly realizes, \"I can read this!\" Thank you for believing in our students and for helping me give them the tools they need to grow as readers and learners.

These assistive technology tools allow students to scan and hear text read aloud instantly, helping them decode unfamiliar words, build vocabulary, and access challenging material with greater independence. The pens are easy to use and portable, which means students can take them to small groups, centers, or even the library—anywhere they may encounter text that pushes them beyond their current reading level.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the reading pens, I have seen a remarkable change in my students' confidence and engagement. Students who once hesitated to pick up grade-level books are now exploring content with excitement, knowing they have the support they need right in their hands. They are able to focus on comprehension rather than getting stuck on individual words, and this shift has allowed them to participate more fully in classroom discussions and activities. The pens have not only opened the door to more rigorous reading materials, but they have also empowered my students to see themselves as capable, successful readers.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a real and lasting difference for struggling readers. Thank you for believing in my students and helping create opportunities that will continue to impact their learning far beyond this year.","fullyFundedDate":1756919849049,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-reading-independence-for-strug/9585838/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Reading Independence for Struggling Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schlickbernd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5264832_orig.png?crop=1024,1024,x0,y64&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755102367994","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5264832"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78991","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":517,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"30.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":78991,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wakefield School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wakefield School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/wakefield-community-school-district-90-0560/wakefield-school/78991"}
