We have started 2 of the books, The Boxcar Children, as a classroom read-along/discussion for the entire class. The other, Stuart Little, is being used in a small-group setting. This allows me to meet the needs of students with different comprehension levels. \r\n\r\nWhat a pleasure it is to watch students and listen to the discussions as we read about the children who have nothing and yet still find joy in the simplest of things. It is sad to hear the comparisons and connections my students make to these orphans, but at the same time, I realize what a great outlet this book provided for some of them.

Students working on reading fluency are able to record their voices and receive immediate feedback, helping them build accuracy, expression, and confidence as readers. Because each student has access to dependable equipment, they are able to work independently without distractions, making small-group rotations and personalized learning much more effective.\r\n\r\nThese headsets have made a lasting impact by supporting clear communication, stronger reading skills, and greater student independence. Most importantly, my students feel empowered when their voices are heard and valued.
