By providing students with engaging, tangible rewards for meeting their reading milestones, the project has amplified motivation, strengthened bilingual literacy skills, and enriched the overall classroom culture.\r\n\r\nWith this funding, students now receive a cuddly stuffed animal as a \"reading buddy\" and a cookie treat each time they reach a milestone. These rewards are more than simple incentives—they spark excitement, build confidence, and encourage students to persevere. Children look forward to achieving their goals, knowing their hard work will be celebrated joyfully and memorably.\r\n\r\nThe stuffed animals, proudly displayed and used during reading time, have become symbols of accomplishment in the classroom. They remind students that dedication leads to success and help create an inviting, comfortable reading environment. This sense of pride and ownership encourages students to read more frequently and with greater enthusiasm in both English and Spanish.\r\n\r\nAs a result, students are not only improving their literacy skills but also developing a genuine love for reading. The rewards system has fostered a supportive, collaborative atmosphere where peers celebrate one another's achievements and share their excitement for learning.\r\n\r\nUltimately, the funding for this project has transformed reading from a task into an experience—one that is motivating, enjoyable, and deeply meaningful for our dual language learners.","fullyFundedDate":1759249063879,"projectUrl":"project/reading-rewards-sweet-success-and-snugg/9674974/","projectTitle":"Reading Rewards: Sweet Success and Snuggly Friendas","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valdez Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2042103_orig.png?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651006903611","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2042103"},{"teacherId":2042103,"projectId":9216463,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our Dual Language Reading Corner has become a welcoming and comfortable space where students are excited to practice reading and grow their English skills.
