Because of you, our classroom learning environment has been transformed in meaningful and lasting ways.\r\nHaving access to working headphones has allowed students to fully engage in digital learning without distractions. Students are now able to focus on instructional videos, interactive lessons, reading programs, and assessments at their own pace. This has been especially impactful for students who benefit from listening to directions multiple times or who need a quieter, more personalized learning experience.\r\nThe headphones have also supported differentiated instruction. Students can work on targeted skill practice, enrichment activities, or intervention programs without interrupting others. As a result, classroom transitions are smoother, engagement is higher, and learning time is used more effectively.\r\nPerhaps most importantly, the headphones have helped foster independence and confidence. Students feel empowered to take ownership of their learning, and they are excited to use technology as a tool to grow academically. Something as simple as a reliable pair of headphones has helped create a more inclusive, focused, and supportive classroom environment.\r\nYour generosity has made a direct and positive impact on my students' daily learning experiences.

My kids are highly motivated by food and they are now getting food rewards each month for completing all their iReady minutes and passing 2 lessons per week.\r\n\r\nWith the class set of books, I am now able to teach my class how to use text evidence in their writing. Without a class set, I had to make copies of books so students had the evidence in front of them.

Each book is carefully designed to match the phonics patterns we are teaching, which allows students to practice exactly the skills they are learning in a meaningful and successful way. As students read, they are identifying letter-sound patterns, blending sounds together, and building confidence with each new word they decode on their own.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is active and joyful. Students eagerly open their books, point to words, stretch out sounds, and reread sentences with growing fluency. Because the text is accessible, students are not guessing or memorizing—they are truly reading. This leads to stronger comprehension and a sense of pride as they realize they can read an entire book independently.\r\n\r\nThese books have been especially impactful for our beginning and struggling readers. Students who once felt frustrated or hesitant are now excited to participate and volunteer to read aloud. I've seen smiles, celebrations, and increased confidence as students realize, \"I can do this!\" Thanks to these texts, every child has the opportunity to experience success and build a strong foundation for lifelong reading.","fullyFundedDate":1768090427950,"projectUrl":"project/giving-young-readers-the-tools-to-succee/9992881/","projectTitle":"Giving Young Readers the Tools to Succeed With Decodable Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kennedy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8167793_orig.jpg?crop=350,350,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737835536431","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8167793"},{"teacherId":7628348,"projectId":8011760,"letterContent":"As you all know getting the correct supplies for teachers can be expensive!

My students and I are incredibly grateful for the funding that allowed us to receive these new materials. Your kindness has had an immediate and meaningful impact on our learning environment, and we truly could not have done this without you.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the new resources, my students have been using them daily to engage more deeply in lessons, collaborate with peers, and build essential academic and language skills. One especially meaningful moment was during a recent literacy activity, where students worked in small, differentiated groups to practice language development and comprehension strategies. The materials allowed me to tailor instruction to different learning needs, ensuring that all students—including those with IEPs—had access to supports that met them where they are. I saw students confidently participating, using academic language, and taking pride in their work.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to explore, ask questions, and begin using the resources right away. Several students expressed how the tools helped them better understand the lesson, and others were thrilled to have materials that made learning feel more hands-on and engaging. For my students with IEPs, the resources provided structure, visual supports, and flexibility, helping them feel more confident and successful in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom now feels more inclusive, engaging, and supportive of all learners. These materials have helped promote language development, strengthen academic skills, and allow for differentiated instruction that supports individual learning goals.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these resources as part of an ongoing unit that focuses on building comprehension, communication, and independent learning skills. Our next steps include applying these tools to more complex tasks, encouraging students to explain their thinking, collaborate with classmates, and demonstrate growth in both academic content and language use. The materials will continue to support small-group instruction and personalized learning plans, especially for students working toward their IEP goals.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and for giving my students the tools they need to succeed.
