My Project

All of my students love to listen to me read books. A listening center will allow them to explore their favorite books all on their own.

Young children love to explore books but have not yet mastered the art of reading.

This listening center will provide a valuable resource in our Pre-K classroom. Children will be given the opportunity to listen to their favorite books.

My students can also use this center to listen to different types of music as well! I am hoping you can help me provide this much needed center to my classroom.
