Sound amplification systems have traditionally been expensive to purchase and install. But with the help of DonorsChoose, I will be able to acquire an Interlink GoSpeak!- Ultra-Portable Amplification System. This amplification system requires no installation?you simply plug it in and turn it on.

Our special education, autistic and regular education population will benefit by enhancing their ability to access information, especially the spoken word.

Several research studies and white papers cite the benefits of incorporating amplification systems into learning spaces. Some of these benefits include:

? Children Will Hear Their Teacher Significantly Better

? Attention and On-Task Times Improve

? Class Interaction and Participation Increases

? Classroom Stress is Lowered

? Behavior Problems are Reduced

? ESL Children Score Higher

? Children with Learning Disabilities Can Benefit

Please support us as we continue to improve literacy instruction in our K-3 building?from Phonemic Awareness to sharing of the best in children's literature.
