Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Help us achieve our reading goals! A listening center would help level the playing field for all the students of my class. This technology will benefit especially the reluctant reader or low achieving student. It will allow them to listen to a good reader while following along in their book.
My students are all second language learners who struggle to achieve success in school.
All of them are either first generation Americans or new arrivals with high economic disparity. Our school is in a high poverty urban environment with limited resources. Teaching is a labor of love, most of our classroom supplies come out of the teacher's pocket with little or no support from the district. Having a listening station in the classroom frees me to hone in on guided reading and allows the students relaxed time to "read" a book.
My Project
Having a listening station in the classroom will help improve my students reading scores. The students will use the listening station during the reading block and will listen to a chapter book or a picture book daily. They are free to listen to the selection repeatedly during their time at that center and follow up with comprehension questions of the reading. The center will also be used by the children with the purpose of reading for enjoyment. I believe this resource will foster a love of reading and passion for books in these young children.
I can't begin to explain the urgency this listening center has in my class.
This technology will impact reading scores on high stakes exams and it will also create a love of reading. My students will not only read for information, but also will get lost in a gripping adventure that will spark in them a desire to continue reading more.
