My Project

"Listening to Love Literacy" is a project that aims to enhance literacy instruction in my 2nd-grade classroom by acquiring a set of wireless headphones and a transmitter (AYVVPII 10pcs Bundle Wireless Silent Disco LED Flashing Light Headphones with 1 Transmitter 500m Distance) and a charging station (Mvthenxi 20 Port USB Charging Station, 100W/20A,Multiple USB Charging Station) These resources will significantly expand the capabilities of my current listening center, allowing for differentiated instruction and improved learning outcomes for all students, particularly English Language Learners (ELLs) and students with diverse learning needs.

My goal for this project is to increase student engagement and motivation while learning to love literacy through listening.

The wireless headphones will provide a more engaging and independent learning experience, reducing distractions and allowing students to focus on the audio content. The transmitter will enable students to listen at different speeds and/or different languages concurrently, based on their needs. The listening center will improve reading comprehension and fluency. Regular exposure to audiobooks enhances listening skills, vocabulary development, and reading fluency. Audiobooks in native languages provide valuable language support and build confidence in reading skills. This technology will accommodate students with auditory processing difficulties, attention deficits, and those who benefit from multi-sensory learning experiences.

My 2nd-grade class comprises a diverse group of learners, including English Language Learners (ELLs). Approximately 40% of my students come from homes where a language other than English is spoken. I also have students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) requiring accommodations for various learning styles. Some of my advanced students require enrichment opportunities and can benefit from accelerated learning through faster-paced audio.

This project has the potential to significantly enhance the literacy learning experience for all students in my classroom. My goal is for my students to love literacy through listening. Thank you for your consideration.
