Young children take great pleasure in listening to stories. Hearing a book read on tape helps them see how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way. Children can build vocabulary skills while listening to a variety of stories, as well as begin to build on their reading comprehension. It also helps them focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also provide an important introduction to listening — a skill that children must master in order to learn to read. With the use of this listening center and CD player, my transitional kindergarten students will be provided with a wonderful opportunity to hear a variety of books read aloud again and again. The more they listen, the greater the likelihood that they will learn new vocabulary words and gain reading comprehension skills. Please help me make this listening center a reality for my students! Thank you!
