Creating Avid Readers Through Decodable Texts

Funded Dec 4, 2023

I cannot put into words how much your generosity has positively impacted my classroom and students. The new books have created a new buzz and excitement about reading and given us a new boost of energy to become better readers.

Not only are the texts a perfect fit to match our phonics lessons, having something "fresh" and "new" is often something my population of students don't get to experience. They were in awe that a stranger was compassionate enough to think about our classroom and complete an act of kindness.

Furthermore, my students who typically fall below benchmark are the students who struggle finding books that work for them. With this wide range of books that address all different reading levels, I am able to meet the needs of every student in my class.

Thank you so, so much....and our class is thinking of a way to pay forward the kindness to someone else in need.”

With gratitude,
