My students were thrilled to use the new literacy games and decodable books during our ENL classes. When the games and books arrived, their faces lit up with excitement. They already love to read and build vocabulary together, this gift just made it even better. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as English Language Learners as they practiced decoding words and supporting each other in vocabulary development. \r\n\r\nI am so grateful for the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards, which have allowed me to access additional resources to support literacy development. Towards the end of the year we went on virtual field trips. From the Bronx Zoo to the Grand Canyon its has been a joy to purchase additional fun, interest driven and engaging materials. Your support has opened up new opportunities for building strong reading and language development habits. I cant can't wait to see their progress next year when I have more time with them, the books and literacy games!
