Not only have I been using them in small group instruction, I have been sharing the books I am not currently using with students so that I can encourage reading.

These new texts are allowing us to explicitly teach essential literacy skills such as making predictions, identifying key details, building vocabulary, and discussing character traits and themes. Students are learning how to think more deeply about what they read—asking questions, making connections, and supporting their ideas with evidence from the text. The variety of books will continue to help us meet readers where they are, offering both support and challenge so every student can grow.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is active and joyful. You'll see students curled up with books during independent reading, gathered in small groups for guided discussions, and eagerly sharing favorite parts with classmates. The new books have sparked meaningful conversations and have given students the confidence to take risks as readers. Several students who were once hesitant to pick up a book are now the first to ask, \"Can I read one more chapter?\" Others light up when they recognize themselves, their interests, or their experiences reflected in the stories.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful to our donors for making this possible. Your generosity has truly turned the page for our students, helping them see reading not just as a skill, but as something enjoyable and empowering. Because of you, our readers are growing—one book, one lesson, and one proud moment at a time. Thank you for investing in our students and for helping us build a classroom full of confident, enthusiastic readers.","fullyFundedDate":1768755993220,"projectUrl":"project/a-fresh-chapter-growing-readers-one-bo/10035118/","projectTitle":"A Fresh Chapter: Growing Readers, One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McCall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6518337"},{"teacherId":6489168,"projectId":9045347,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been filled with excitement, engagement, and a whole lot of learning! The new resources have made a meaningful difference for my students, and I wanted to share just how much they've impacted our daily work.\r\n\r\nAs soon as the materials arrived, the students lit up with curiosity and joy. I'll never forget the moment they walked in and saw the new supplies neatly organized and ready to go—it was like Christmas morning! They immediately began exploring the materials and asking questions about how we'd use them. It was clear from the start that these tools were going to spark a whole new level of motivation.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite projects so far has been our recent literacy centers. Using the new phonemic awareness tools, students rotated through hands-on activities that strengthened their letter-sound connections, blending, and decoding skills. One student, who previously struggled with confidence during reading time, was beaming after completing a phoneme matching game—she proudly announced, \"I did it all by myself!\"\r\n\r\nRight now, we're using the resources daily as part of our Core 95 phonics lessons. The manipulatives and printed materials help make abstract concepts tangible, and students are more engaged than ever. We're beginning a writing unit next, and the foundational skills we've been building with these resources are already showing through in their early drafts.","fullyFundedDate":1736965319819,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-to-encourage-academic/9045347/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies to Encourage Academic Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Floth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6489168_orig.jpg?crop=2247,2247,x327,y1264&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1560528677604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6489168"},{"teacherId":7563493,"projectId":9046119,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your generous support in helping me purchase organization materials and fluorescent light covers for my classroom.
