Yoto Literacy so We can Read Vigorously!

Help me give my students Yoto wireless headphones and a collection of music and story cards.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rankin's classroom raised $245

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I’m reaching out for your support to bring Yoto audio cards and headphones into our classroom. Yoto is a screen-free, interactive way to help students fall in love with stories, music, and learning.

Yoto cards are used with Yoto Players to let kids independently listen to audiobooks, educational content, music, and mindfulness tracks.

They’re perfect for fostering a love of reading, developing listening comprehension, and giving students a calm, tech-free way to explore new ideas.

With a collection of Yoto audio cards, my students will be able to:

Listen to age-appropriate stories and audiobooks during reading time

Explore subjects like science, history, and language in a fun, engaging format

Practice focus and listening skills

Enjoy screen-free, independent learning during centers or downtime

Many of my students benefit from multi-sensory learning experiences, and Yoto cards will give them just that, with the magic of audio and the power of imagination. These cards support literacy, creativity, and even social-emotional learning.

Your donation, big or small, will make a real difference. Thank you for helping us bring more learning, joy, and wonder into our classroom!
