My Project

Everyone has different learning styles. Learning styles are important because they help you better understand materials in classes. In my reading class, I've got visual learners, auditory learners and kinesthetic learners. As I continue teaching reading classes, I've got the chance to know my learners well. It breaks my heart to discover that some of learners no matter how much they want to catch with the class in reading, they are really struggling because of some hindrance. I've got dyslexic students and students who's really having hard time to read in English.

My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading.

I want to help them to read and comprehend easier. Through this text-to-speech device, it will easier for my auditory learners to catch up with our reading materials. It will also be easy specially for my dyslexic students to listen to all the stories rather than taking time to read. It will be easier and a big help for my ESOL students for translation.

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our classroom door. I am looking forward to see these students read, comprehend and participate confidently in my class soon.
