• We Are Ready to Read!

  Funded Dec 13, 2024

  These books are absolutely amazing! My curious kindergartens are reading voraciously, strengthen their decoding skills and chatting with their friends about the joy these tools bring. We are truly grateful.

  We recently began our reading journey after learning all the sounds of our alphabet. We listened to our teacher read often, enjoying books about Pete the Cat, a truly unique pigeon and a pig named Mercy. We couldn't wait for it to be our turn!

  These books are an awesome gift! We are reading- yay!

  Your kindness and support alongside the feeling we have because of your donation is something we will hold onto, forever!”

• Rocking With Our Favorite Character, Pete!

  Funded Nov 29, 2023

  We read these beautifully written books daily! They have helped to instill a deep love of reading in my kindergartners. Our class absolutely adores Pete the Cat and we have you to thank.

  We've used your gift to learn math skills like addition and they've helped us on our early phonics and writing journey.

  Books are a gift that will keep giving all year long. Even better- they will impact many tiny learners, for years to come! For this, we are super-grateful. As Pete often says- you are one cool cat!”

• Ready To Read!

  Funded Sep 20, 2023

  Thank you! I think I am just as excited as my curious kindergarteners at the impact these resources have had in such a little amount of time. For the very first time since I have been teaching kindergarten, my students are already reading! It's fantastic.

  These books give my students the much needed opportunity to practice their phonics learning on a daily basis. The books are high-quality, engaging and best of all- decodable! Without these materials, my students would be lost, unable to apply the new spelling patterns and sounds they have been meticulously gathering in their tiny reading brains!

  The impact is profound, motivating the desire to read more and more! We are forever grateful.”

Imagine their excitement as they realize they are able to read and understand the words on each page!

• We Want to Read!

  Funded Mar 30, 2023

  Reading brings us excitement and joy! When taught with decodable texts like these, children can read easily, helping to build a true love of reading. That is exactly what's happening in our classroom thanks to your support!

  We read in a variety of ways. We read with partners, in small groups and independently. These books help to remove obstacles because they utilize all the wonderful skills we are already learning in kindergarten. We are successful and motivated, beginning our reading journey with a strong admiration for the adventures we can take when you open the pages of a book!

  This gift is tremendous and will impact many students to come! We thank you, truly.”
