My Students

Do you remember having stories read to you as a child? Many of my students don't have anyone to read stories to them at home. Audio books will provide a way for my students to hear stories while also reading them!

We have a mixed population of special education and general education students in one Integrated Co-Teaching setting.

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. They bring to class a range of experiences, knowledge, and abilities. All of my students work hard to challenge themselves to work towards personal goals for learning and need the tools to help them be successful.

My Project

Audio books will provide my struggling readers an opportunity to read books they wouldn't be able to read independently otherwise. It will allow them the freedom to choose books on interest and engage in book talks with their friends, rather than be stuck with the low level, low interest readers appropriate to their abilities. It will allow my students to engage meaningfully in the enjoyment of reading, while still gaining practice. In addition, for my students who can become overstimulated by too much noise or activity or transitions, having a library of audio books will provide them with an outlet to calm down within the classroom but outside of the stimuli that is affecting them. Having a library of audio books will provide all of the students a way to enjoy stories in a new way, engaging them in hearing stories read with voice and expression when a teacher is unable to model this for them.

This project is so important because I have so many struggling readers who get frustrated at the process and audio books will be an incredible incentive to get them reading and enjoying reading again.

Please help!
