  • Reading Together

    Funded Aug 6, 2020

    Thank you for your generous donations. I cannot begin to tell you how it has impacted my students. We are currently 100% remote and without donors like you, my students would not have the materials they need in order to be successful in Kindergarten.

    The books I was able to buy for my read alouds are priceless. I was also able to give every child a package filled with reading and writing supplies to use at home while we are learning virtually.

    Especially this year, with school and family budgets being so limited, my students would

    not have had the same opportunities. We appreciate you all very much!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Leslie

  • We Are Raz-Kids Readers!

    Funded Aug 9, 2020

    First let me say, thank you! This is an unprecedented year and as it turns out, I am teaching students who are 100% remote.

    That being said, without Raz-Kids, I could never have provided them with the vast selection of online books.

    Because of your generous donations, my students are able to read a wide variety of books everyday. They also take comprehension quizzes after they read. The feedback on the quizzes helps me know their strengths and weaknesses which helps me guide my teaching.

    Truthfully, I don't know how I would have done this year without Raz-Kids. The best part, is the children love reading!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Leslie

  • Readers are Leaders

    Funded Nov 21, 2012

    I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donations to my project. It is great to see that you share my vision for reaching children. I greatly appreciate all of you for your generosity and support. My students were so excited and motivated to read their new books. You have truly made a difference in their lives because you gave the gift of reading.

    When the boxes were delivered their faces were priceless. They couldn't wait to get their hands on the new books. Because of your donation, I feel confident that my class is more prepared for their upcoming state test in reading. They challenged themselves to read more difficult texts and were motivated to learn new words in order to tackle the unfamiliar vocabulary.

    You should know how much you have impacted my 25 third graders by your gift. It is so amazing to see how much joy they are getting from reading. Many parents were thanking me at our recent conferences. One mother said, "My daughter used to hate to read and it was such a struggle. Now, she reads without being told, and just loves it!" She was so happy and grateful with the change in attitude.

    What more can I say except, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Leslie

My students are second language learners living and learning in a low socioeconomic, inner city neighborhood in New York City. They don't get a lot of educational support at home, so it is really important for them to go home everyday with a book to read.
