Listening to Our Favorite Books in Preschool

Help me give my students a Tonies listening station to use in our classroom library .

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Halee's classroom raised $542

This project is fully funded

My Project

Fostering a love of reading at an early age is essential for young developing minds . We read everyday in my preschool classroom and have a growing list of favorites already this school year. Having this Tonies listening station will not only bring their favorite books and songs to life , but it will also foster independence and increased print awareness. The students will begin to track the works on their own while listening to a story , which is a crucial beginning reading skill .

It is my goal for this project to build a listening station in my classroom using this Tonie box accompanied with matching books we already having our classroom library .

This listening station will be added to our free choice center time and the students will be able to read on their own or with their friends using the headphones and headphone splitter.

My students are just beginning their school journey in preschool and their experience this year will shape their view on school for the rest of their life . This is why this is such a special and important school year for them . I want to give them as many interactive learning experiences as possible and this Tonies listening station will help instill a love of books and learning by helping their favorite books come to life .
