Already, in the new year, the students have utilized the headphones daily and are hyperfocused on their work thanks to the small amount of noise-cancellation that these headphones provide. They're so excited to have something more robust than their previous ones, and I know they feel loved and cared for as it feels like they've been invested in. They also feel trusted with something that requires more care, raising their self esteem and confidence with responsibility!\r\n\r\nWe've gone over how to properly care for these headphones, and you can see they take this seriously as they don't want to lose these headphones due to negligence. They also ensure their peers are maintaining the upkeep, keeping each other accountable towards the care for the technology.

For struggling readers, especially those with learning differences such as dyslexia, phonics instruction is a lifeline. The structured approach you've helped make possible is giving them the tools they need to break through barriers and experience success, which in turn boosts their confidence and love for reading. \r\n\r\nYour generosity is laying the groundwork for their literacy success.
