As a special education teacher, I work closely with students on phonics and reading comprehension, and these materials have been such a valuable support.\r\nMy kindergarten and first-grade students have been using the phonics kits to practice identifying sounds and building and reading CVC words. The kits have made learning both fun and engaging, and the students were absolutely thrilled to open and use them. It's clear that these resources have a meaningful impact on both their engagement and their learning.\r\nMy older students are currently focusing on reading comprehension, and the comprehension cards have been fantastic. With so many interesting topics to explore, students enjoy choosing what they want to read, which has been very motivating. The built-in comprehension questions are also incredibly helpful for instruction.\r\nWe truly appreciate your support and will continue to use these wonderful materials with our students.","fullyFundedDate":1768606904760,"projectUrl":"project/special-education-teacher/10021152/","projectTitle":"Special Education Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dimitri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9369083"},{"teacherId":1668540,"projectId":10022865,"letterContent":"Our students are using these drums to play in drum circles.
