MP3 and CD players, Califone has the media players that educators need to incorporate sound technology into
Designed specifically for school use, our media players — like all Califone products — are rugged, durable
and easy-to-operate, even for the littlest hands. Built beyond the industry’s most rigorous standards, our steel grille coverings
protect the recessed speakers from damage. The tough ABS plastic exterior withstands inevitable impacts.

The Music Maker USB
Our new digital media player truly does it all. It supports the most popular audio media (CD/CD-R/CD-RW, MP3) and can play, record, or store
to its 512 MB flash memory or to an SD card (not included). Giving educators a wealth of flexibility in how they use audio to support language
acquisition, the Music Maker™ USB can be utilized by individual students working at classroom learning centers or as part of a presentation to
as many as 75 people. The resulting digital file can be transferred through the mini USB port to a computer or media player and become part
of a student’s formative assessments or even emailed home to their parents. Its built-in variable speed playback gives teachers the opportunity
to slow down the audio playback so that students can distinguish tricky letter and word combinations. Whether they are native English speakers
learning to read or ELL/ELD students mastering English, the ability to slow the delivery speed and repeat as often as necessary is a compelling
feature of this digital wonder.

Case Study: CD102

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.

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.

budgets to other, more pressing needs. The Deluxe Series offers

centers, music and movement, story-time activities and playback of

audio out to the class instead of up to the ceiling to add even more
flexibility. A permanent three-wire cord is attached for student safety.
