Ms. Copeland and her partners implement “HEART (Hear Excellent Audio-books Read Today)” to help improve the reading skills of their English language learners and economically disadvantaged students. Students take home audio books and cassette players to increase their exposure to high-quality texts on their reading level. Students complete tests at school to check for reading comprehension of the audio books that were read at home.
