For the Love of Reading: Listening Center Books

My Project

My students are becoming great readers and one of my goals is to help them truly develop a love of reading. One way to do this is through a listening center. They already have the opportunity to listen to books, but there's nothing like having the physical book in your hands. Some of these books are brand new to them and some are classroom favorites. Research shows that listening to books being read aloud builds students fluency as well. I want what is best for my students and this is one way to help!
