My Project

In our Pre-K classroom, learning is joyful, interactive, and filled with discovery. My little learners are at a crucial stage in developing their language, early literacy, and independent thinking skills. To support them, I am requesting a set of Honoson Recordable Answer Buzzers that will transform our literacy activities into exciting, hands-on learning experiences.

These colorful buzzers can be custom recorded, making them perfect for a wide variety of literacy games.

I can record letters, sight words, rhyming pairs, or comprehension questions, and students can press the buttons to respond during small groups or whole-class activities. This engages even our shyest learners and builds confidence in a fun and accessible way.

Even more, these buzzers encourage independence. Students can use them at learning centers to check their understanding, self-assess, or practice turn-taking and communication. They promote active participation, listening, and decision-making—all foundational skills for school success.

With your support, my students will have a tool that makes learning to read not only effective but exciting. These buzzers will give each child a voice and help foster a love for language and literacy from the very start.
