My students need listening center books.

My Students

Listening is the most common communicative activity in daily life. "We can expect to listen twice as much as we speak, four times more than we read, and five times more than we write." I want my students to have the opportunity to listen to books to further encourage their love for reading.

My 5 and 6 year old students attend a Title I school, with limited funds for resources and supplies.

My Kindergarten students love reading, listening to stories, and reading to each other. I want to give them the opportunity to cuddle up and listen to stories independently. I also want them to have a place to store the books they love to read over and over again.

My Project

With books on CDs, my students will have more opportunities to participate in Listen to Reading. My students spend every morning working independently in reading centers and often do not have access to their own books to listen to by themselves or enough books for more than one student. This will allow them to have a better selection of books to listen to during center time.

Donations will improve our classroom's Listen to Reading center.

My students will now be able to have lots of opportunities to listen to stories. They will have access to a variety of books on CDs to listen to independently or with a classmate.
