All students want and must learn to read, but they all learn at a different pace. Using headphones to assist below grade level readers with reading, especially with informational text, will allow them to read books online that are on their reading level without being embarrassed by books that other children may tag as a "baby book." These headphones will allow struggling readers to read along and build confidence when they come to a word that they are unfamiliar with. Confidence in knowing how to read can change a child's future. Providing some below grade level reading material to our students who are struggling will help them to learn about a topic in a way that they can participate in conversations about that topic, which will build confidence and encourage them to tackle harder reading material a little at a time. My hope is that with these materials, I will be able to help students that are struggling at home and at school to build more confidence in themselves while at school so they may be able to deal with things that are happening at home.
