Grades K - 4. Help young children along the path to literacy with the WhisperPhone® Element.

The immediate auditory feedback encourages better enunciation and fluency, which are critical components of effective reading. This enables them to hear themselves reading and minimizes distracting noises so they can focus. This elevated focus will enable children to make significant strides toward literacy. The WhisperPhone provides a private and non-judgmental way for children to practice speaking and reading aloud, helping them become more comfortable with their voice and more willing to participate in classroom discussions and activities.
