Our school serves a very rural and economically disadvantaged community. While we are fortunate to have strong support within our school, many of our families face significant challenges and are often unable to provide the kinds of literacy materials that help students practice and grow outside the classroom. Because of your donation, my students now have access to high-quality decodable readers and workbooks that truly meet their needs and give them every opportunity to succeed.\r\n\r\nThese resources are already making a noticeable impact. Students who struggle to engage with reading now have books they can successfully decode, and the confidence that comes with that success is noticeable. The workbooks reinforce new skills in a structured, meaningful way, giving them the continued practice they need to develop as readers.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is creating real change for children who don't always have access to the tools that can make learning feel possible. We are celebrating increased independence, stronger perseverance, and proud moments of \"I can read this!\", all thanks to you!\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and for investing in their future. Your gift is felt deeply in our classroom and throughout our community.","fullyFundedDate":1742565745345,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-early-readers-with-decodable/9099813/","projectTitle":"Empowering Early Readers with Decodable Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cordova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9910858_orig.jpg?crop=3648,3648,x0,y510&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738863828514","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9910858"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82498","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":49,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":45,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"6.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":53.7,"schoolId":82498,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Reserve Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Reserve Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/reserve-independent-school-district-1/reserve-elementary-school/82498"}
