My students will use these headphones to enable the Text To Speech feature on reading assignments and tests. This is a necessary tool for non-native speakers and students with learning an attention deficits. According to reading rockets.com, since TTS lets kids both see and hear text when reading, it creates a multisensory reading experience. Researchers have found that the combination of seeing and hearing text when reading: -Improves word recognition. -Increases the ability to pay attention and remember information while reading. -Allows kids to focus on comprehension instead of sounding out words. -Increases kids’ staying power for reading assignments. -Helps kids recognize and fix errors in their own writing understanding. Many of my students are nonnative speakers and students with learning differences and attention deficits.
