Help me give my students a class set of Whisper Phone Duets. In a time when we have so many students below grade-level reading, this product offers improved phonemic awareness which will in turn enhance reading and spelling.

A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
The students that I see each day in my three fifth grade classrooms come from a very small, rural farming town. More than fifty percent of our four hundred students are on our free or reduced-price lunch program. We have students from all types of homes from diverse backgrounds.
My students never cease to amaze me with what they can and have overcome.
They are sweet, beautiful souls who deserve my very best, and that is what I strive to give them each and every day.
My Project
A whisper phone is an auditory feedback device that can be used in the classroom for many different reasons. Students speak softly into the phone and their own voice is directed back to them so they can pay attention to the sounds and rhythm of their own words. The duet has this same capability, but also links a student to a partner as well.
We live in a time where a large portion of students make it to fifth grade without being able to read fifth grade materials with full comprehension.
The whisper phone duet system will allow students to benefit from instant auditory feedback. Using this system will allow for partner or paired reading that will improve comprehension, fluency, and even pronunciation. This will be possible with the least amount of disruption to the remainder of the students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
