The greatest difference between a low-income student and an affluent student is language exposure. My students not only come from a low income background but 18/24 also come from a home where little to no English is spoken. This means that for many of my students they did not speak a word of English until the first day of Kindergarten or in some cases, the first day of 1st grade. A listening center for our classroom would give my students the opportunity to hear a story while they read along. The more English my students can be exposed to each day, the better. Since I can not be reading to eight students individually all the time, a listening center would help me increase student exposure to written and spoken English in an individualized manner.
