Ready, Set, Listen!

Funded Aug 25, 2023

I would like to thank you once again for your generosity in donating and funding my project "Ready, Set, Listen!".

The new listening station and class set of headphones have been delivered and set up in our classroom. Our class has a Listening Station as part of our reading block. My students love going to this station and listening to books on CD and tape. Listening to reading provides exposure to language use and prosody. This is especially helpful to students who come from a background where they are not read to at home on a regular basis and students who have a language impairment.

Listening to rich language in stories helps students use their imagination and explore different places. They also see reading as fun and engaging!

With the holiday season coming up, my students will delight in listening to stories ranging from silly skeletons to runaway turkeys and finding ways to catch Santa!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Harris
