Personal CD Player

Students who read along silently while listening to a recording of a book can make significant gains in fluency and comprehension from this single activity. This holds true for struggling readers whose native language is English as well as non-native English speakers.

It can also be used to support comprehension, phonics, vocabulary, Special Ed, ELD, ELL and other language learning applications. Students reap the benefit of one-to-one instruction in class and at home. Our sturdy CD player is designed for single or group uses (with a jackbox) and includes an ambient noise-reducing 3060AVS headphone.

Intervention at

Northview High School

Northview High School in Covina, California, is a school known for its leadership and interest in pioneering new programs. With more than 51% of the school’s 1,532 students referred for intervention, Hillary Wolfe, Northview’s learning specialist, understood the urgency behind developing a specialized program for students struggling with reading. “Our literacy academy is a great way to serve many students at the same time,” Wolfe explained. “Though it took a lot of extra effort to get some of the teachers and students excited about the program at first, we now have more than 70 peer tutors across the curriculum.” Students are able to come to the library, meet with their peer tutor, check out a recorded book, listen and read along on their CD102 players from Califone, and review the material. “The kids really enjoy the CD players, especially the portable nature of the system,” Wolfe said. “With this new program, the library is now bustling. So many students are coming through, we started a book club and we are trying to set-up an inter-library exchange with the community library to access even more recorded books.” Like many other assisted reading programs, informal studies have illustrated that using technology while reading, such as recorded books and CD players, can interest students in new genres, improve critical listening skills and emphasize the humor or sadness in texts. “Most importantly, we have seen on average a 36-40% improvement in grades for all of the intervention program participants,” Wolfe concluded.
