My Project

Children take great pleasure in listening to stories, and there are some terrific books on CD available at bookstores and most public libraries. Tapes and CDs that come with a copy of the book are particularly valuable because students can follow along as the narrator reads. They also enrich a child's multi-sensory experiences with books. The students would use the M3P players to listen to the books that they have checked out from our class library.

Hearing a book read aloud helps the student 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 students an important introduction to listening — a skill that she must master in order to learn to read.

Many books on tape have interesting sound effects, music, and multiple narrators that are especially motivating and fun for young children. Shel Silverstein's recordings of the poems in his delightful book Where the Sidewalk Ends are perfect examples. With his baritone voice, and the accompanying playful music and sounds, he demonstrates the deep pleasure that books can provide to children of all ages, serving as a stepping stone to every other kind of reading experience.
