This CD and cassette player will enrich my students' multi-sensory experiences with books. Hearing a book read on tape helps students see how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way. It helps them focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also give them an important introduction to listening — a skill that they must master in order to learn to read. There are various books on tape with interesting sound effects, music, and multiple narrators that are especially motivating and fun for children of all ages. Narrators on tape tend to embellish their storytelling with silly voices and dramatic enhancements. They emphasize reading as a source of pleasure rather than a skill, and make children eager to learn how to read. Beyond their sheer enjoyment of audio books, children also develop a sense of narrative structure and understanding of language. Stories or texts on tape help students to grasp the rich and various ways in which language distills and conveys meaning. In addition, exposing students to a range of narrators and their different styles of reading will deepen his grasp of the reading process.
