Reading for ALL Students

Funded Dec 31, 2012

Thank you so much for you generous donation of a listening center for my forth grade students. The listening center has made a huge impact on my students lives in many ways. My struggling readers are now able to access the rich text that the advanced readers have always been exposed to. They are able to listen to such text and fully participate in classroom discussions, comprehension questioning and writing assignments about these texts.

At first I thought the listening center would primarily benefit just struggling students. Boy was I wrong! The students who are advanced readers are recording their own reading of the text for all to listen to. These students are checking their own accuracy, fluency and inflection. All students in my classroom love the new listening center.

Technology is an area that our school is lacking. Your donation has helped add another piece that we would not have access to due to budget cuts. Your donation has impacted so many children this year and will continue to impact students for years to come.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Ford
