Funded May 7, 2024Thank you for the generous donation to building our reading decodable library. My students have been enjoying these engaging texts and feeling accomplished as they practice phonics skills within a chapter book with exciting content.
As a literacy specialist, I usually begin the year with assessments and then start our small group intervention groups. This year, I was able to start right away with boost groups of students that had been seen previously, and I have been using these books to launch our students into success!
It is so refreshing to hear third, fourth, and fifth graders ,who have previously been reluctant to read, say that they are looking forward to intervention where they can continue reading the Totem series! That certainly is music to this reading teacher's ears. I can not thank you enough for this true gift of the love of reading that you have helped to provide my students.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Shanahan
