The addition of the HMH Into Reading read-aloud collection has elevated the way my students experience stories, deepen their comprehension, and connect with literature. Before receiving these materials, we relied on a limited assortment of books that did not always align with our curriculum or meet the needs of all learners. Now, our read-aloud time has become one of the most powerful and engaging parts of our day.\r\n\r\nThe HMH read-aloud texts immediately captured my students' attention. From the moment I introduced the first book, their eyes lit up and they were drawn into the world of the story. These texts are rich in vocabulary, diverse in characters, and purposeful in structure, helping students build stronger comprehension skills. The stories encourage them to think critically, ask questions, and communicate their ideas with confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1763388486594,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-stories-to-life-with-hmh-into-r/9890994/","projectTitle":"Bringing Stories to Life With Hmh Into Reading Read-Alouds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Romanov","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8886073_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684712163463","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/romanov"},{"teacherId":8886073,"projectId":9782281,"letterContent":"The sand toys and LEGOs have transformed our classroom into a space full of creativity and hands-on learning!

When the materials first arrived, the children were so excited they immediately started planning what they wanted to build.

As a special education teacher in a 4th-grade self-contained classroom, I am truly grateful for your support.

The moment my students saw the new materials, their excitement filled the room. Several immediately picked up the whiteboards and began drawing or practicing spelling words, proudly showing their work to their peers. Others eagerly explored the sensory toys, using them to help stay calm, focused, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWe are now using the whiteboards during small-group lessons to model math strategies and practice writing responses. The headphones have become essential during independent work time, allowing students to access reading programs and audio supports without distraction. The sensory tools help students regulate their emotions and remain engaged, especially during longer tasks. The easel pads have given us a shared space for anchor charts, collaborative brainstorming, and visual reminders that support comprehension and routines. \r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom.
