Crossing the Bridge to Literacy: One Book at a Time!

Funded Jan 14, 2011

What a wonderful year of great experiences with the use of the materials we received from your generous donation! Students read along with the tapes, reviewed spellings that were covered in lessons, enjoyed the wonderful stories that were engaging and fun. Students were able to look at their learning of spelling patterns with greater intention, transfer of skills was obvious as we moved through units of learning, and the materials really gave the students opportunities for individualized support.

The use of the materials were such a hit, our after school students used them as well working on their language, oral reading, and spelling skills. They were just as excited and thrilled as my students.

Thank you again and know that our students are appreciative of your support of their literacy, as one student wrote, " How nice of you to take time out of your day to think of us and send these materials !...." These materials will be used to support students well beyond this school year”

With gratitude,

Ms. Van Buren
