Coming into kindergarten my students have a variety of reading levels. Some are budding readers while others are just learning phonics and letters. My students are curious learners and I want them to develop a love for reading. I believe by adding an independent reading station I can give the students another way to experience and be immersed in a book. Western Downs Libraries states some benefits to listening to audiobooks: “•Increasing reading accuracy by 52% •Increasing reading speed, expanding vocabulary and improving fluency •Teaching pronunciation •Improving comprehension by 76%; and •Increasing test scores by 21% when engaged in multi-modal learning. The station I chose is small enough to fit in my room. It can have more than one reader listening to a book. I have several audiobooks ready to use as soon as I get this station set up. I plan to use a variety of teaching methods for my students to keep them motivated and engaged, having an independent reading station will provide them with a fun independent learning experience.
