I think of my 27 students as "Shining Stars." I would like to see each of my students able to read a story on their level. We are striving at my school to have all of our students understand and comprehend more of what they are reading when they hear it read aloud as they are reading.
My "Star Students" love to read.
Their reading ranges from non-readers to first grade levels. Many of the student are not able to read independently, however, they are eager to learn to read. Several of my students depend on older brothers and sisters to help with homework and practicing oral reading. The listening center will provide students an opportunity to listen to stories being read to them with expression and fluency. Listening to stories at the listening center with the read-along books will help increase their reading fluency as well as their listening skills.
My Project
This listening center and the read-along books will help my students practice reading independently. Having the listening center, CD's and books available for the students will provide them with the opportunity to be successful at their individual levels. Students will be able to understand and comprehend more of what they are reading when they hear it read aloud as they are reading.
Please consider my class for the listening center and read-along books with CD's that I am requesting.
With these items, I feel as though I can make a difference in the lives of my students; especially the non-readers. Having these items will offer my students the opportunity to go to the listening center and listen to stories being read/modeled correctly as they listen to the stories.
