My Project

Many of our reading comprehension programs have a listening portion where the students get to listen to the story to try to figure out the main idea or the theme of the story. Many kids have low comprehension. This supports them in starting to like to read and then feel frustrated by the content so listening and making a movie in their mind they can comprehend the story and start their journey into becoming readers. In order for everyone to work at their own pace, they need to listen with headphones, so that others can concentrate when they are working.
