Reading is not always easy. The first time you opened a book were you able to read it? Did you know all of the words and recognize all of the sounds the letters make simply by looking at the page? My students don't either. They need to hear the stories to build their comprehension and reading skills
My students need your help.
They need a listening center that accommodates their small groups and allows them to experience reading in a new way. If you met them, you would love them. They are sweet children. They don't always have easy lives to go home to, but they make the most of their days. They have smiles on their faces and they work hard each and every day. My students have dreams of being doctors and lawyers. They dream of being nurses and teachers. They're going places... they just need a hand. My students are in the second grade. They range in ability, interests, and even size. They are as unique as their DNA. They are teaching me so much about life. Please help me to be able to teach them more efficiently.
A listening center would truly help my struggling readers. They could listen to the story for it's content and not have to worry about the words. They can build their knowledge by seeing and hearing the words at the same time. Though all of my students this year and years to come would benefit from this, one of my students in particular would truly benefit by this work station. She would be able to hear and understand the story as she follows along. She is not a strong reader due to other things beyond her control, but this would truly help her to succeed.
Don't you want to make a difference?
I became a teacher to make a difference in the lives of children. You know, I truly believe that just one person can make a difference. You never know what a difference your contribution may make in the life of a child. The children are our future. Won't you help me make a difference?
