Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in our learning environment, and I'm excited to share the impact it's had on my students.\r\n\r\nSince the Yoto Player arrived, it has become a beloved part of our daily routine. We use it during morning arrival, work time, transitions, and free choice time—and the students absolutely love it. They are drawn to the Yoto Player's simple, child-friendly design, and they quickly learned how to insert the audiobook cards, adjust the volume, and select chapters all on their own. It's been a great tool for promoting independence and responsibility.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest highlights has been watching students engage with the non-fiction audiobooks. They've become genuinely curious and excited about the topics they're learning, and many have started meaningful conversations sparked by what they've heard. For students who are still working toward grade-level reading, the Yoto Player offers a way to access rich language and content they might not otherwise be able to enjoy. It's helping them strengthen vocabulary, listening comprehension, and overall literacy skills in a joyful, low-pressure way.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, I've noticed the Yoto Player has positively influenced our classroom atmosphere. It helps ease transitions and keeps students focused and calm. Even children who don't usually choose books during free time are now eager to listen and learn.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, the Yoto Player is nurturing a love of stories, building confidence, and enriching learning for every child in my classroom. We are so grateful for your kindness and for believing in our project.
