Books on tape for listening center I teach 5-K in a very rural South Carolina community. The school has a 93% Free/Reduced Lunch ratio and is also known as a school in the "Corridor of Shame".

This school year we have faced drastic budget cuts. There is no money for anything "extra". We are making due with what we have however my students this year love story time. They are engaged in every word of the book. I believe a listening center would be beneficial. I have the headphones and cassette player but I need books on tape to complete the center.

I, just like so many others have had to deal with budget cuts this year. I purchased a listening center for my students but have very few books in the center. There is no money this year for something like this, however I have a class that loves story time! They are attentive and inquisitive. They are engaged throughout the book and only desire more. I really feel that this class would thrive with adequate beginning books on tape. I would use these materials as a center activity that the students could enjoy.

These students have already faced so many hardships. I have found something that they love. When I read to them they get lost in the book. During story time it doesn't matter that "mommy called the police on daddy last night" or "we didn't eat dinner because there's no food in the house". The kids get to forget about reality for a few minutes and enjoy a fairy tale. Thanks for all your help!
