The students in my room love to listen to audiobooks and hear texts read aloud. The problem is the old, poor quality, headphones in my room are falling apart. Many of my students are reading 2-3 years behind level. On account of this, they have a hard time accessing texts that they feel connected to. Having auditory support can link struggling readers with texts they want to read.
I have seen the excitement of students who finish reading their first novel on their own. Having audio support can help more students feel this sense of excitement and over time gain the confidence that they are lacking in reading. A little audio support goes a long way.
Additionally, students can use the microphone feature on the headphones to access the speech to text tool while composing on the computer.
