  • Let's Play! Practicing Reading Skills Through Targeted, and Engaging Games.

    Funded Sep 20, 2024

    The donation of phonics games to our classroom has significantly enhanced the learning experience, making it both enjoyable and accessible for all students. These interactive games provide an engaging way for children to practice essential phonics skills, such as letter recognition, blending, and word formation. By incorporating play into learning, students remain motivated and excited, which fosters a positive attitude towards reading and literacy. Additionally, the hands-on nature of the games supports different learning styles, making it easier for children to grasp phonics concepts at their own pace. This thoughtful donation has not only brought fun into the classroom but has also created an inclusive environment where every child can thrive and develop crucial reading skills.

    The students look forward to game day with anticipation! I love being able to provide fun without losing any learning time. Your gift is so very appreciated.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Shanahan

  • Engaging Books for Reluctant Readers

    Funded May 7, 2024

    Thank 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

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 4 other donors.
