Funded Feb 28, 2014Thank you so much for the book donations! Your generosity allowed me to plan a unit around book choice. Students got to choose books to read from our classroom library. The fact that students could choose high-interest books at a reading level appropriate to them meant that every student read at least one book and enjoyed it!
On my course evaluation, several students thanked me for providing interesting books. The credit goes to you too!
Two students told me that the book they read through DonorsChoose was the first book they have completed on their own since elementary school! At the beginning of the year, five of my sixty-five students were reading at a college-level. Now, thirteen are reading at a college-level! DonorsChoose books have allowed me to differentiate more. I have students who read as many as five books in this unit (from April to now).
I am excited to continue to nurture readers and raise reading levels! We now have a print-rich classroom, thanks largely to you!
Thank you so much.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Large
