The littlest learners lack a listening library!

Help me give my students an exciting new listening area that can be used independently as early as age two. Both preschool classes would like to have a Yoto Player and audio cards to share.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We anticipate that having a Yoto Player in each preschool classroom will have multiple benefits. Children will have an additional literacy learning opportunity each day as a choice at worktime. They may choose to listen together in community, act out familiar stories they hear, or buddy up with headphones. We can use the player as a speaker to play music when we need to move our bodies or for meditation sounds when we are trying to stay more still. It may also become a tool for children to use as a calming distraction when they are having big feelings.

Our English language learners will have further exposure to literacy in English and their home languages.

Yoto cards are recordable, and we can create hours of content that includes familiar class songs and stories in any language. Without the pressures and distractions of sitting in a large group, many children may be able to focus more on the message they are hearing.

We know that children love technology, and we typically try to keep our early childhood program free of tablets and videos. Having a library that we can add to and that children can use by themselves with a player that talks to them and lights up gives us the best of both worlds- without screen time! We believe that this will enhance our libraries and make storytelling even more fun.
