Many of our digital tools—such as text‑to‑speech programs, audiobooks, and reading intervention software—require clear, distraction‑free audio to be effective. With these headphones, students can finally hear every word, sound, and prompt with clarity, allowing them to focus deeply and engage with material that once felt out of reach. This technology has given them a level of independence and confidence that simply wasn't possible before.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the sense of ownership and comfort these headphones provide. Instead of struggling to hear over classroom noise or sharing worn‑out equipment, each student now has reliable, comfortable headphones that make learning feel more personal and accessible. The difference in their engagement is unmistakable.\r\n\r\nA few students, in particular, have shown remarkable growth since the headphones arrived. Students who previously avoided reading tasks now listen to audiobooks daily. Another, who struggles with decoding, uses the text‑to‑speech feature to follow along visually and auditorily, improving comprehension. These small but powerful shifts are happening across the room, and it's all thanks to your generosity. Your support has not only provided a tool—it has opened doors for students who deserve every opportunity to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1769176693073,"projectUrl":"project/help-struggling-readers-access-multi-mod/9901416/","projectTitle":"Help Struggling Readers Access Multi-modal Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Teacher Powell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp284951_orig.png?crop=240,240,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763581283786","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/284951"},{"teacherId":1767642,"projectId":9042899,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support in refreshing our sensory room.
