My Project
The whisper phones have many benefits and allow the students to enjoy reading.
Whisper phones are plastic piping that resemble a phone that you hold to your ear and your mouth.
They allow students the opportunity to hear themselves as they read. This direct focus helps students build phonemic awareness. Directly hearing the sounds improves the ability to recognize and distinguish the sound structure of language. We use the phones for activities such as blending, identifying and manipulating sounds. When students are ready for reading text, the phones allow them to hear themselves as well as read-aloud without disturbing others in the group next to them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
