The WhisperPhone is a small acoustic headset that "enables learners to focus and hear phonemes more clearly as they learn to read, spell, and acquire a new language or process language aloud." Essentially, it allows your child to hear themselves louder and clearer than ever before. This small tool not only amplifies their voice but helps boost their comprehension. There are several activities in which the WhisperPhone elevates the learning experience.
1) Reading Aloud
When a child reads aloud while wearing their WhisperPhone, they receive immediate auditory feedback which helps the child become more aware of their pronunciations of words.
2) Memory Work
If your child has to memorize math facts, a poem, etc., the WhisperPhone can help immensely while they practice. The reinforcement of the auditory feedback loop boosts overall comprehension!
3) Volume Awareness
Do you notice your child talking excessively loud? The WhisperPhone can help your child become more aware of the volume of their voice volume. Since the WhisperPhone amplifies your child's natural voice, your child will receive immediate auditory feedback signaling them to lower their voice.
