The moment my students saw them, their eyes lit up and they immediately began flipping through the pages, pointing out pictures, and sharing stories with each other. For many of them, it was the first time holding a book that was truly their own to explore, and it was such a joy to witness their curiosity come alive.\r\n\r\nThese books have already been part of several small-group reading sessions and literacy activities. One of my favorite moments was during story time when a student proudly recognized a word from a book we had read earlier in the week—proof that these resources are already making a difference. We will continue using them this year to build vocabulary, strengthen comprehension, and spark a love of reading that lasts beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly given my students tools to learn, grow, and imagine.
