This feature has boosted their confidence and made reading feel fun and personal. One student who often struggled to stay focused during lessons now stays engaged for long stretches while using the iPad's reading games. Another student who used to be shy about reading aloud now proudly shares her recordings with classmates.\r\n\r\nYour gift has brought joy, confidence, and new learning opportunities to our classroom.
