Headphones For Learning English

Funded Feb 20, 2014

Thank you so much for donating headphones to my English Language Learners this school year. With these headphones, my ELL students were able to use Internet-based programs that helped them learn critical language, math, and reading skills. Several of the programs adapt the presentation of material depending on student needs, as indicated by their responses to questions and tasks. The kids enjoyed working on the activities and seeing their progress as they moved through different levels and received certificates of completion.

Here are some things my students said about what they learned from the computer programs: "It helped me learn English, spelling and reading." "I learned new words and how to write and read." "I learned reading and math." "I learned to read and understand English."

These internet resources would not have been accessible in my classroom without the headphones. Having them gave four students at a time the chance to work at their own pace while I taught other groups. This had a valuable impact on their learning.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Huckins
