These resources have made an immediate difference in the way they learn each day. With new headphones, my students can fully engage in individualized reading and phonics lessons without distractions. This allows them to move at their own pace, listen to text-to-speech supports, and practice decoding and comprehension in a focused way. \r\n\r\nThe students were so excited the first day they saw the box arrive! It's been amazing to see how much more confident they are during reading centers and online assessments. For my students who struggle most with reading, the ability to clearly hear sounds, words, and stories through their devices has helped them stay motivated and proud of their progress. They especially appreciate that they each have their own individual pair and do not have to share with students in other classes! \r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom. Your generosity has not only provided tools for learning but has helped create a calm, focused environment where students can grow as readers and feel successful each day.","fullyFundedDate":1733182711243,"projectUrl":"project/overcoming-obstacles-accessibility-fo/8956785/","projectTitle":"Overcoming Obstacles: Accessibility for Students with Reading Disabilities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sweet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9823970_orig.jpg?crop=1451,1451,x756,y947&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733269402962","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9823970"},{"teacherId":9447690,"projectId":9485998,"letterContent":"Where do I begin?
