These books have made a remarkable difference in our classroom and have become an essential tool in helping my students build the foundational skills they need to become confident, capable readers.\r\n\r\nBefore receiving these resources, many of my students struggled to connect the sounds they were learning with the words they saw on the page. The decodable readers have changed that. Now, they can apply their phonics knowledge in meaningful ways, blending sounds, recognizing patterns, and reading with genuine pride and excitement. Each success—whether it's decoding a tricky word or finishing an entire book independently—builds their confidence and motivates them to keep growing.\r\n\r\nThe impact extends beyond reading time. I've seen improved focus, stronger participation, and a new sense of enthusiasm for learning. Students who once hesitated to read aloud are now volunteering to share their stories with classmates. The joy of reading is taking root, and it's all thanks to the structured, accessible, and engaging support these decodable texts provide.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has directly contributed to these transformations. You've helped create a classroom where every child feels that reading is something they can do—and something they want to do. Thank you for investing in their success and helping us lay the foundation for a lifetime of literacy.","fullyFundedDate":1755529245562,"projectUrl":"project/help-create-lifelong-readers/9618715/","projectTitle":"Help Create Lifelong Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Strickland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9252442"},{"teacherId":4227793,"projectId":9074707,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our new mobility learning stations have transformed our 2nd-grade classroom. Students are using the stationary bike while reading or practicing math facts on tablets, and the walking machine during guided lessons or audiobooks. These tools are helping students stay focused, engaged, and excited to learn while building healthy habits.\r\nThe reactions on the first day were unforgettable—eyes lit up, smiles spread across the room. Looking ahead, our next steps involve incorporating the mobility stations into a long-term reading project. Students will rotate through the stations while practicing fluency with partner reading and audiobook listening. We expect this to boost their comprehension and stamina while reinforcing the habit of combining movement with learning.\r\nLooking ahead, we will use the stations in an ongoing reading project where students rotate through while practicing fluency and comprehension. Your support has created an inclusive, active learning environment that strengthens not only academics but also confidence and joy.
