The headphones also help minimize distractions, allowing students to focus better on their reading assignments and improve their literacy skills at their own pace.\r\nWhat's most exciting about the new headphones for my students is the immersive experience they provide. The high-quality sound and comfortable fit make listening to audiobooks and educational content enjoyable, which in turn fosters a positive attitude toward reading. Some students have particularly warmed to this new technology, finding it easier to follow along with the text when they can hear it read aloud. For instance, students reading several grades below grade level and other reading difficulties have shown remarkable improvement in their reading fluency and comprehension. The headphones have become a valuable tool in creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1738465421345,"projectUrl":"project/we-listen-and-we-dont-judge/9069358/","projectTitle":"We Listen and We Don't Judge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wright","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9719694"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49415","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":814,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.1,"schoolId":49415,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paul D West Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paul D West Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/fulton-county-school-district/paul-d-west-middle-school/49415"}
