My Project

During our school day, we have individual work time that students need to use headphones so that they may engage with our reading program. It is imperative that they hear and be able to respond in turn to what the program is asking them to do. Because of cost, we are only able to provide them with earbuds which are connected with a small wire. These break repeatedly and sometimes only after a week! I have had to personally order multiple earbuds throughout the school year, because my students cannot complete the program without some type of headphone because using the program without would disturb students around them. Please help us have a quality supply of headphones that they may use so that phonics learning with practice can continue!
