Stories to Read and Hear

Help me give my students more choice and support in reading with a listening center. The headphones are a much better quality for not only listening, but for being handled by little people.

My Project

My students love to do things together and listening stations are very engaging. Its so fun to see them giggle and smile at their partner as they enjoy a story together. This listening center will replace my personal property that has broken down, and open it up to more friends at time than I was able to before.

Being able to read and listen to stories together helps get them engaged and get excited about what they are doing.

It grows a love of reading which helps them excel in many areas. For students that are unable to read alone yet, it gives them a sense of independence. I also like to offer them a listening station to give them more choice in their day.
