Listening centers can help children how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way. It helps them focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also give an important introduction to listening — a skill that must be mastered in order to learn to read. Reading becomes a source of pleasure rather than a skill, and make children eager to learn how to read. Beyond their sheer enjoyment of audio books, children also develop a sense of narrative structure and understanding of language. In addition, exposing children to a range of narrators and their different styles of reading will deepen the children's grasp of the reading process. Your support can provide a wonderful opportunity to our children to hear their favorite books read aloud again and again with a set of read-alongs, headphones, and CD player. The more they listen, the greater the likelihood that they will learn new vocabulary words and many reading skills. It will help them to grasp the rich and various ways in which language distills and conveys meaning. And, when listening with a special friend, the opportunities for playing creatively and acting out parts of the story are endless.
