It would be very beneficial to all of my students to have a listening center available for them in the classroom. A listening center would provide non-readers an opportunity to hear and experience high quality literature and it would provide readers with an opportunity to reinforce their own reading skills and an opportunity to listen to literature that normally would be too difficult to comprehend without the help of a listening center to read it for them. I teach a multiage classroom of first and second grade students. Students remain in my classroom for two years before being promoted to third grade. I teach all subjects, but focus on reading and math. Woodlake Elementary is an inclusion school and we try our best to meet the needs of every learner in our school. In oder to create a listening center in our classroom, we need a CD/Cassette player with outlets for headphones and literature with tapes/CD. All twenty students would use this center weekly if not more often. Hearing a book read on tape helps children 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. Listening to books also gives an important introduction to listening, a skill that children must master in order to learn to read.
