The book sets and headphones have helped students grow stronger in their independent reading. The students enjoy following along and tracking the stories. The book and CD sets have specifically benefitted students in the areas of modeling fluency, decoding unfamiliar words, and introducing new vocabulary words. They have also read stories from new genres, been introduced to new characters and learned about interesting new cultures.\r\nThe headphones that we received have made it easier for students to stay focused on the stories being read to them. They also help to block out classroom noises which cause distractions and sometimes impede the learning process. We use our new headphones during online lessons and testing, where the full attention of students is needed. Headphones have truly become such a necessary item in today's classrooms. Technology plays such an important role in education that we have a new need for certain items that help to make our classrooms run smoothly. So again, thank you all for your generous support.","fullyFundedDate":1676737101127,"projectUrl":"project/plug-into-classic-stories/6934507/","projectTitle":"Plug Into Classic Stories!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G.
