The headphones are giving every child the chance to learn in a way that meets their needs.\r\nThe students love having their own headphones—it makes them feel like real \"tech experts\" when they log on. They're especially excited to use them during interactive reading programs, where stories come to life with sound effects and character voices. For many of them, it feels like they're inside the story!\r\nOne of my students who often struggles with staying focused has really connected with the headphones.
