Their participation during lessons have increased. \r\n\r\nThe use of headphones has provided an easier way for my students to communicate in their interactive online reading. Being able to read aloud and listening to their voice has helped my students who have been struggling for awhile. It has also helped various students work at their own pace, without having to hear other technology being used in full volume when they had no headphones.

The headphones you provided have been a game changer, allowing students to focus, hear instructions clearly, and engage fully in their learning without the distraction of outside noise.\r\n\r\nThe excitement among students was immediate. For many of them, having their own pair of working headphones made the experience feel special and more immersive. They love being able to hear the stories, instructions, and feedback clearly, and it has helped make reading time one of their favorite parts of the day.\r\n\r\nWe've seen particularly strong engagement from our younger students and emerging readers, who benefit most from the audio features of the program. Some students who were previously hesitant or distracted during reading time are now fully engaged and making noticeable progress in their skills. \r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our students and helping create an environment where every learner can succeed.
