It provided a class set of headphones with microphones to my students. Some of my students had headphones but only one or two had microphones. They were overjoyed when they came in and were super excited to use them to learn. They use every day during their lessons. In today's world technology is in everything and education is no exception. \r\nThe students use the headphones in conjunction with a reading program that helps them with fluency and phonics. They get to read aloud and then the computer program assists and works to boost their phonics, pronunciation, and their fluency. The students enjoy reading aloud in this way because it is personalized to them and helps increase their confidence. Most students shy away from reading out loud, but this program with the headphones has made a huge difference. This would not be possible without the help from donors like you. Again, thank you to everyone that helped me fund this project, my students and I are very grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1757527608762,"projectUrl":"project/listen-up/9659917/","projectTitle":"Listen Up","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10186548_orig.jpg?crop=1895,1895,x393,y372&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761074918085","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10186548"},{"teacherId":7475364,"projectId":9006083,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my project!
