Because of your generosity, my students now have access to books that reflect their languages, cultures, and lived experiences. These new texts have introduced powerful lessons about kindness, perseverance, and treating others the way we want to be treated. Through shared reading and discussion, students are learning not only how to read more fluently, but also how to care for one another and see strength in their differences.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is now joyful and meaningful. Students eagerly choose books during independent reading time, partner up to read together, and proudly share stories that connect to their own lives. The books have sparked rich conversations and increased confidence, especially as students recognize familiar words, experiences, and emotions on the pages.\r\n\r\nOur newly arrived immigrant students have been especially impacted by these books. Seeing characters who speak their language and share similar journeys has helped them feel welcomed and understood. Many of them are more engaged, excited to read, and willing to participate. Your support has truly helped my students feel seen, valued, and empowered as readers.
