Studies have shown that students with access to a listening library develop 1) a greater interest in reading, 2) improved literacy skills and comprehension and 3) increased vocabulary and syntax levels. It's my hope to create a listening center with a library of stories as diverse as my students. Listening centers involve the use of headphones for students to listen to Cd's or MP3 files while reading along with the accompanying picture book. My students are in need of a listening center that can accommodate 4 or more students. By using books with read along CD's, I believe that a listening center will be both interesting and relevant to my students and will improve their reading comprehension skills. If my students had a listening center, they could then listen, and follow along with books of their choosing with ease. I'd love to see my students benefit through the use of this modern technology.
