Building Comprehension

Help me give my students a listening center. This will help students to be able to listen to stories during our small group time. They will get a variety of books to listen to & build comprehension.

My Students

So far this year, my students have show a lot of growth. The majority of my student come in not knowing any of the letter names and sounds, how to count, and have very little social skills. At this point in the year, the majority have learned ALL the letter names and sounds, know how to count to 100, and are READING!

My students are hard working and love school.

They mostly come from low income families. They are learning how to get along with one another. They are learning how to "calm down" when frustrated.

I love teaching! I love seeing my student learn and grow. Teaching is one of the most reward careers out there. I am truly blessed. My students are AMAZING!

My Project

I love being able to read to my students. They love hearing the stories. Reading picture books are a way to help students gain abilities they need throughout their education. Although, I would love to read stories all day, that is not beneficial to the overall education of my students.

Research has proven that read-a-louds help students to build comprehension and expose them to more vocabulary.

The listening center will provide more opportunities for my students to hear read-a-louds. This give them stories to hear as a small group and not just as a whole group. I am able to ask questions about the story they heard as well. I believe in reading books to students no matter what age, but especially in kindergarten.
