Funded May 19, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donations to this project. My students were so excited to see the new books that I had added to my library. Even better they feel so confident when they realize they are able to decode these books!
Your contributions have helped my students gain confidence. They have also learned to enjoy reading. More importantly as they read these high interest decodables they are reinforcing important sequential skills that will help them in both reading and spelling! Thank you so much for your help!”

Funded May 10, 2023Thank you so much for your generous contributions. Your donations allowed me to start the year fresh with brand new white boards, markers and erasers for my students. The students who I worked with last year were so excited to see I had new supplies. The new students were just as happy to have a wonderful set of supplies to work with.
These materials enable us to work daily on our auditory drill practice with sounds and letter formation. We also use them to sound out words and write sentence during the dictation portion of our lesson. All of our encoding lessons focus back to our phonic skill which help with retention of the content. Thank you so much for your generosity!”

Funded Jan 11, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donations for the calming corner in my classroom. The items I was able to get helped me make a dedicated space where students can decompress when they are having challenges.
Learning to read can be stressful. Having these materials available to my students help them when times get tough. My students were so excited when they saw the new carpet and bean bag. They love using the bean bag and cushion. They have posters to guide in relaxation, calming strips and stress balls available to use when needed. The timers help me give them a break but also remind them to come back to our activities when they are ready.”

Fabulous Phonograms
Funded Sep 20, 2022Thank you so much for your generous contributions to my Donor's Choose project! The materials from this project have helped me provide materials to help my students with building their phonemic awareness and phonics skills to become better readers.
I use the phonogram flashcards daily for our visual drills. My students need review of previous learning to help them fully master it. The phonogram flashcards help us review previously learning as well as to introduce new learning. The Splat rhyming game is perfect for my younger students who are still developing rhyming skills.
I greatly appreciate your donations that have enabled me to better help these students.”

Funded Sep 15, 2022Thank you so much for your generous contributions to my Donor's Choose project! The materials from this project have helped me provide materials to help my students with building their phonemic awareness and phonics skills to become better readers.
Having tactile alphabet letters to trace during our visual drill really helps those of my students who are still working on learning their letters and sounds. For my students who need review the phonogram flashcards help on a daily basis so that we can learn new sounds and review the ones we have previously learned.
I greatly appreciate your donations that have enabled me to better help these students.”

Ready to Read
Funded Sep 13, 2022Thank you so much for your generous contributions to my Donor's Choose project! The materials from this project have helped me provide materials to help my students with building their phonemic awareness and phonics skills to become better readers.
Having a TPT gift card enabled me to purchase decodable texts, word lists and phonics games to help me with their learning. I was also able to purchase texts at a higher level yet that are still decodable for my older students. These not only help with their reading ability but also with their confidence as they are not reading the same passages that my younger students receive
I greatly appreciate your donations that have enabled me to better help these students.”

Make Every Child a Reader
Funded Aug 13, 2021Thank you so very much for your generosity! These materials were greatly needed especially this year as I have several students who are still working on their reading skills. The materials you helped me purchase have been invaluable at meeting their needs at a level where they are.
Because of your help I am able to provide them with reading materials and phonics based worksheets to help them work on their skills at a level that is appropriate for them. All students have been making good progress and are becoming stronger in their reading skills thanks to the supplies you donated. Thank you!”

Funded Mar 9, 2021Thank you for your generous contribution to my classroom. One of my biggest challenges this year has been the even bigger divide of ability levels. I always strive to meet each student where they come in. This year I found myself not as equipped to meet the wide variety of levels.
With this TPT card I have been able to purchase materails and activities to target need skills. I was also about to purchase sets of leveled decodable passages to help my struggling readers. These materials have been a tremendous help and I am already seeing growth and improvement. Thank you so much!”
