Prize includes: Ten Speak & Listen Sound Phones, or whisper phones, are child-sized and lightweight with ergonomic easy-grip handles, making them ideal for young learners to use independently. These clever tools are designed to amplify a child’s voice when spoken into, allowing them to clearly hear themselves as they practise phonics, pronunciation, or reading aloud. Particularly beneficial in supporting developing readers and children with speech or language difficulties, these whisper phones provide valuable auditory feedback that enhances self-monitoring and builds confidence in oral language tasks. The durable, classroom-friendly design means this set is suitable for small group work, individual practice, or use in literacy stations. This 10-piece classroom pack ensures there are enough phones for multiple students to use simultaneously, reducing wait times and promoting regular oral language engagement. Their simple but effective design supports focus and reduces environmental distractions, especially in busy classroom settings.
