They can clearly hear phonics lessons, reading passages, and teacher instructions during small-group and independent work time. Having their own headphones has helped students stay focused, work more independently, and feel excited about learning.\r\n\r\nWe have already seen growth in student confidence and improvement in reading performance. Many students are more engaged during literacy centers and online intervention programs, and they are able to better access the support they need at their individual learning levels. In a classroom with many multilingual learners and developing readers, this resource has truly helped close learning gaps and create a more successful learning environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and believing in their potential.

In math, they use them to solve problems, show their thinking, and try out different strategies without the fear of making mistakes.\r\nWhen the students first saw the whiteboards, they were beyond excited! There were lots of smiles, and they couldn't wait to start using them.
