Thanks to your generous donation of the Lovevery Reading Skill Set: Learn to Read (Pre-K & Kindergarten, Part 1), I'm able to use play-based phonics activities during small group sessions to strengthen foundational reading skills while also building confidence and resilience. We use the hands-on letter tiles and decodable books to practice sound recognition and word building in a way that feels safe and engaging for students who may struggle with frustration or academic anxiety.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were immediately excited and curious. The playful design helped lower their guard, and they eagerly asked to \"play the reading game.\" One special moment was watching a student who typically shuts down during challenging tasks successfully build and read a simple word independently. The pride and confidence that followed were just as important as the literacy skill itself.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, I can continue integrating literacy into social-emotional skill building. Our next steps include strengthening perseverance during reading tasks, encouraging positive self-talk, and using partner activities to build collaboration skills. You didn't just provide reading materials—you helped create a supportive space where students can grow academically and emotionally. Thank you for investing in their success. 💛","fullyFundedDate":1768227535596,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-through-play/9812929/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9178161_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693406350032","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9178161"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99030","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":525,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":45,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":99030,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about KIPP Academy Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"KIPP Academy Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/kipp-academy-charter-school-elementary-school/99030"}
