It's so funny.\" Thanks to your support, my 30 preschool students now have access to a dedicated listening center where they can independently explore books, build language skills, and develop a lifelong love of reading.\r\nFor many of my students, especially those receiving special education services, listening to stories provides an engaging and accessible way to strengthen vocabulary, comprehension, and communication skills. The headphones and audiobooks have given them opportunities to follow along at their own pace, revisit favorite stories, and practice important skills while feeling successful and confident.\r\nThe listening center has quickly become one of the most popular spots in our classroom. Students eagerly take turns selecting books, listening carefully to characters and plots, and sharing their favorite parts with classmates. One student summed it up perfectly when they smiled and said, \"I like listening to the stories all by myself!\"\r\nYour support has done more than provide materials. It has opened the door to imagination, independence, and joyful learning for 30 young children, many from low-income households. Thank you for being a Reading Hero and helping our students discover the magic that lives inside every book. Thanks for all the classroom giggles!","fullyFundedDate":1778944778315,"projectUrl":"project/if-you-give-a-student-a-book/10154296/","projectTitle":"If You Give a Student a Book...","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crislip","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10366310_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764682234252","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10366310"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85236","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":459,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":74.8,"schoolId":85236,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oakview Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oakview Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/kettering-city-school-district/oakview-elementary-school/85236"}
