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.

Your support has opened up new opportunities for building strong reading and language development habits.
