I encourage my students to read, but some require tangible rewards. \r\nWhen the prizes began to arrive I showed my students what they would be working for. Their eyes widened and mouths dropped as they saw what they could choose for themselves. Students began to race to see who could choose the first prize. \r\nI have seen a growth in my student' reading levels as a result of their practice of reading.

With headphones and audio books, my students can listen and follow along with stories that build their vocabulary, comprehension, and love for reading.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, English is a second language or reading can be a challenge. Listening centers allow them to hear fluent reading and experience books they may not be able to read on their own yet. This boosts their confidence, supports independent learning, and helps them make meaningful connections to the text.\r\n\r\nListening centers also encourage small group collaboration and give me the ability to work with other students in small groups while knowing that every child is engaged and learning. Most importantly, they help every student see themselves as a reader and develop a lifelong love for books.","fullyFundedDate":1710357624079,"projectUrl":"project/ear-ye-ear-ye-listening-center/8230350/","projectTitle":"Ear Ye, Ear Ye!

We created a fun and exciting classroom library. The pillows and decor have made the classroom's library a fun place to explore.\r\nWith these books, students develop critical thinking skills—analyzing themes, making inferences, and connecting literature to their lives. We've been diving into discussions on character development, exploring different perspectives, and even practicing creative writing inspired by what we read.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is an active, engaging experience. Whether through small-group discussions, read-aloud sessions, or independent reading time, students are immersed in stories that challenge and inspire them. It's incredible to see them so eager to turn the page!\r\n\r\nOne student, Loyal, used to be hesitant about reading, but since discovering books he can listen too, he's been reading every chance he gets. Another student has started writing their own stories, inspired by a character they connected with.
