Many of my students come from homes where they speak languages other than English. School is the only place they hear or learn English. Hearing these stories read aloud on CD will help increase their language skills, comprehension and speaking skills. Children can choose to come to the listening center and hear familiar books again and again, to their delight. Being able to hear books read aloud on CD will engage my students and help them learn to love reading and books. Pre-k sets the stage for all the other grades. If I can get them to love reading now, they are set up for success in the following grades. Hearing a book read aloud on CD helps students see how the words on the page can come alive. It helps him/her focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audiobooks also give students an important introduction to listening — a skill that he/she must master in order to learn to read. Help build tomorrow's readers today!
