My Project

Thank you for taking the time to check out this project! I am hoping to create a Listening Center for my students to sit and hear some of their favorite stories. I included a Yoto Player and story cards because they are easy to use for my students with autism. They will be able to independently select a card, insert it into the machine and listen to a story.

My goal for this project is to give my students access to stories that may be too difficult for them to read on their own.

This will get them excited about reading and give them a sense of confidence and independence. In the future, I will be able to buy more story, mediation, and music cards and continue to grow the collection of stories to suit their interests.
