Your contribution has made a profound difference in our students' reading journeys, and we are delighted to share the impact your kindness has had. \r\nBefore your gift, our students would often find themselves in the middle of a beloved story with no way to continue. This led to frustration for some of our most enthusiastic readers, but now, a new level of excitement fills our library. Your donation didn't just provide new books; it completed stories and opened doors to entire worlds for our students.\r\nYour generosity has directly contributed to the growth of our young readers in the following ways:\r\n•\tIncreased Reading Fluency and Comprehension: With full access to the series, students are reading more consistently and finishing entire story arcs. This repeated exposure to a character's \"voice\" and the author's writing style has dramatically improved their reading fluency and comprehension skills.\r\n•\tEncouraged Reluctant Readers: We have seen formerly reluctant readers find their spark with these series. Getting hooked on a plot and being able to immediately pick up the next book has turned reading from a chore into a highly anticipated activity. For them, books are no longer intimidating but are now a source of adventure and fun.\r\n•\tFostered a Love of Reading: By allowing students to follow their favorite characters on a complete journey, you have helped them build an emotional connection with literature. Our students are now eagerly talking about the series and recommending books to each other, creating a thriving community of young readers.\r\nYour support is truly the foundation of our success, and your investment in our library will enrich the educational experience for countless students for years to come. We would be honored to show you the series in our library and give you a firsthand look at the joy your donation has created. \r\nThank you again for being a vital partner in our mission to foster a lifelong love of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1759614153880,"projectUrl":"project/every-book-counts/9780130/","projectTitle":"Every Book Counts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. P","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8813049"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106692","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":600,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.8,"schoolId":106692,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about International Leadership of Texas - Garland High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"International Leadership of Texas - Garland High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/international-leadership-of-texas/international-leadership-of-texas-high-school/106692"}
