Listening to Reading to Build Fluency and Comprehension

My students need leveled texts and CDs for their listening center.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Slade's classroom raised $393

My Students

I'm sure you can remember listening to someone read a book to you as a child. Wouldn't it be great to give this gift to a young student?

Our students are so excited to learn and spend a ton of time in text in fourth grade.

They are a group of diverse learners with amazing potential. Many of our students qualify for free or reduced priced meals. Our school is located in the heart of the neighborhood that many of our students live in. We are so proud of our community and know that our students are its future.

My Project

With these books and CDs students will be able to listen to books that are read aloud as they follow along with the text. The best part about this resource is that students have a wide variety of books to choose from that are at their reading level.

We know that listening to reading helps to improve students' fluency and comprehension.

These texts will certainly make a huge difference in our students' reading abilities as well as bring them so much joy.
