Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful impact on my fourth graders.\r\n\r\nWith access to Raz-Kids, my students are now able to read at their individual levels, practice comprehension skills, and build confidence as readers—both in the classroom and at home. Many of my students struggle with reading fluency and stamina, and this resource gives them opportunities they would not have otherwise. Already, they are excited to log in, earn stars, and explore books that match their interests and abilities.\r\n\r\nFor some of my learners, this is the first time they are able to independently access a digital library tailored just for them. The smiles on their faces and the pride they feel when they complete a book or quiz is something I wish you could see firsthand.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students, investing in their growth, and helping create a classroom where every child has the tools they need to succeed. Your support truly makes a difference, and we are incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758846952127,"projectUrl":"project/leveling-up-readers-with-raz-plus/9647637/","projectTitle":"Leveling Up Readers with Raz-Plus!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vizenfelder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1453255_orig.jpg?crop=355,355,x3,y104&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692391013369","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-vizenfelder"},{"teacherId":9903391,"projectId":9072542,"letterContent":"How are you and your students using the new resources?
