According to Scholoastic News "Hearing a book read on tape helps her see how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way. It helps her focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also give her an important introduction to listening — a skill that she must master in order to learn to read." Hearing and listening to stories at a listening center will help to bring books and reading alive to all the students in my room. It will help to build their comprehension and critical thinking of texts where phonics and decoding could sometimes get in the way.
