A Yoto Player for Pre-K Literacy

Help me give my students a yoto play and cards to listen to stories in our book nook.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Landino's classroom raised $450

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am seeking a Yoto player to create a listening center where children can select which books they want to hear and can be read to at any time. I am also seeking cards to play in the player. Some cards are books, some cards are jokes, others are guided drawing, and some are facts about dinosaurs! I am trying to appeal to all interests in my selections.

Children should be able to hear a book read whenever they want, and a Yoto player will make that possible!

We wore out our Mp3 player listening center that we previously had and we are looking for a listening center that is more durable and easier for children to navigate. They needed more help selecting stories with the Mp3 player and they will have more independence with the Yoto player and cards.
