With the headphones, students can now fully engage in digital lessons without distractions, allowing them to clearly hear instructions, practice skills independently, and participate in small-group interventions with greater focus. The letter trays have strengthened hands-on literacy instruction by giving students a structured way to build, manipulate, and visualize words during phonics and spelling activities. Together, these tools have increased both engagement and access to learning for every student in the room.\r\n\r\nBeyond academic growth, your support has helped build student confidence, independence, and excitement for learning. Students take pride in using the materials responsibly, which has promoted ownership of their work and smoother classroom routines. We are already seeing stronger participation, improved focus, and increased skill development in reading and language activities. Because of your generosity, our classroom is more organized, more interactive, and better equipped to meet the diverse needs of our learners.
