Hear All Assessment Recorder

Here we go! Part 2 of 3 of my Learning Resources product reviews!  If you missed it, I blogged about Learning Resources’ Easi Speak USB Recorder…you can read about that {here}.  PS – I’m STILL trying to find a winner – I’ve contacted two people and neither have responded, so PLEASE if you sign up for this contest, make sure you check your e-mail and get back to me!!

This time, I’m going to tall you about the Hear All Assessment Recorder.

This gadget is very similar to the Easi Speak, except that you don’t have to hold it.  You can set it down on the table to leave hands free for taking a reading record, helping a student or whatever!

The Hear All has 4 speakers in each corner and it picks up sound just as well as the Easi Speak.  This makes it great for group work.  I tried it out during a guided reading lesson and put it in front of 3 kiddos while I focused my attention on another kiddo.  This definitely kept them on task – they knew that I could go back and listen to it!  The children love to hear themselves read, and it is such a confidence booster for them!

I also used the Hear All during partner reading.  I gave it to a group of 2 kiddos and they took turns reading their books to each other and, of course, the Hear All picked up everything!

I even used the Hear All as a behavior monitoring device!  I had a group that was being especially noisy during literacy centers, and I set the Hear All at their table….got’cha!  They knew that they were being monitored….loved it!

The device is small and light weight, and best of all – it doesn’t require batteries! LOVE LOVE LOVE this!  It has a USB cord that you can connect to your PC/Mac to download and charge.

I think this device would be fantastic to use during assessment time as well!  You could set up a sight word, letter/letter sound, number, or counting assessment for a kiddo – hit record and then go and help someone else!  This would be great even if you wanted to stay right next to the child – sometimes it’s hard for kids to really open up and be confident if you are writing down every word they say and every mistake they make! You could just record them, and go back and listen later. LOVING it!

Okay, on to the good part! You could win one of these fun little gadgets!  YIIPPPEEEE!  Nothing like a great giveaway during teacher’s appreciation week!
