My Students

My 2nd grade students are eager learners with a thirst for knowledge. These young boys and girls have wonderful imaginations that are often sparked by their love of reading and storytelling.

Remember what a treat it was to go to the listening center as a child?

Just like my students today, I used to love to put a tape into the cassette player and... uh, did I say tape? It's hard to believe, but yes, I still have tapes in my listening center.

My Project

It's time to upgrade to books on CD. Today's youth is much more comfortable with handling CDs. My students don't have time to fiddle with tapes. With so much to do and so little time, my students need a listening center that is easy to access, handle, and operate independently.

With a listening center full of books and matching CDs, my students will have yet another way to access the magic of books.

Hearing the voice of a storyteller as they follow along in their book, will not only entertain them and keep them engaged, but it will aid in their journey towards becoming fluent readers.
