Great Literature for All My Students!
Funded Mar 23, 2020This is a very challenging time for schools and students, but students still need high quality materials. Thanks to you, our students will have these wonderful audiobooks to checkout and enjoy. Not only will this provide good literature for them, but as we all know, reading is a key component of learning.
Thank you for your commitment to education.”

Funded Mar 31, 2011Thank you for helping us get this project off the ground. At our school, students who have difficulties reading will now be able to listen to novels that are part of their core curriculum. What we have found is that many of our students, particularly our English Language Learners, our not able to read at grade level, but can understand and enjoy books when they are read to them.
With the addition of these MP3 players, students can check out an audio book from our library, just like any other book, and listen to them at home or at school. The students can also read along with the book and develop their vocabulary. This will enable them to fully participate in book discussions on books that may be above their reading level.
We have definitely come full circle from having a parent at home reading to students. Now with the help of technology, we have little electronic helpers.
Thank you so much for making this idea a reality. The students pictured here were the first to test out the MP3s and loved them. They all were able to correctly answer questions based on comprehension of the chapters they heard. ”
