Original Grant Overview
Goal
The goal of the program is to help students read grade-level texts with accuracy, automaticity, and appropriate expression. All the students in intensive reading classes read two to three grade levels below their peers. The headphones will allow the students to listen and read along with each text presented in the Achieve 3000 program. The goal is to improve the students’ fluency and reading rate.
What will be done with my students
Students will use the headphones to listen to the audio version of a text while they read the text online. Reading students often struggle with fluency and are especially fearful of mispronouncing words when reading aloud. The Listen and Learn project will help students by modeling the correct pronunciation of words, appropriate reading rates and expression. The specific benchmark that will be addressed with this project is ELA.612.F.2.4- Read grade-level texts with accuracy, automaticity, and appropriate prosody or expression.
Benefits to my students
Students will be able to model appropriate reading rates, expression, and understand how to pronounce words correctly. Additionally, having the option to listen to an audio text will encourage students to access the digital library options available in the county's Vportal.
Budget Narrative
I would like to purchase 20 Ozeino headphones to allow students to Listen and Learn how to read grade-level texts with appropriate expression, pronunciation, and rate. The twenty headphones will be shared in each class, allowing every student the opportunity to listen and learn.
