Because of your support, my first graders now have access to decodable books that are helping them become stronger, more confident readers every day. Your kindness has provided my students with engaging texts that allow them to practice the phonics skills they are learning in a meaningful way. Having books that match their reading abilities has made a tremendous difference in their success and enthusiasm for reading.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these decodable books has been incredible. Students are able to apply newly learned letter sounds and spelling patterns while reading independently, which has strengthened both their decoding and comprehension skills. I have seen students who were once hesitant to read gain confidence as they experience success with texts they can truly read on their own. Their excitement when they realize they can read an entire book independently is one of the most rewarding moments in our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Thank you for investing in my students and giving them the tools they need to grow as readers. We are so grateful for your support and for the positive impact you have made on our classroom. Sincerely, thank you for helping our young readers thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1772075493053,"projectUrl":"project/future-readers-of-the-world/9956276/","projectTitle":"Future Readers of the World!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cacciola","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-donkin"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89609","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":405,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.9,"schoolId":89609,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Aston Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Aston Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/penn-delco-school-district/aston-elementary-school/89609"}
