  • Big Books For Big Learners!

    Funded Mar 5, 2009

    Thank you so much for donating to our classroom! Our class was in need of materials to help children learn to read and love reading! The children were so excited to see our new big books. They could barely keep their hands off of them. Everyday day they ask me to read at least one of them. There is no more complaining about not being able to "see." Now all of the children are able to enjoy the stories I read because of the big pictures and words.

    Since these are big books, having this large format has also allowed me to teach beginning reading skills to our little ones! Now they are able to clearly see the words I am reading. I am now able to demonstrate good reading habits such as reading from left to right, pointing to the words, turning pages correctly, and identifying unknown words. We have also learned to use picture clues to figure out unknown words. Many of my Pre-K kids have begun reading on their own!

    We are truly grateful for your generosity. Although our schools are facing severe budget cuts, thanks to people like you our children can get the materials they need and continue to learn. Through your donation you have helped the children in our class learn to read and love to read. You have also made 18 children (and a teacher) very happy! Thank you so much!”
