English language learners benefit tremendously from hearing stories read aloud. Listening to someone else read a story provides a model for fluency and expressiveness, and will introduce new vocabulary.
The technology of a listening station incorporated in the classroom will be something new to discover for many students. I chose the Best Buy Listening Center because it incorporates the disc player, headphones, an eight way audio jack as well as a structure that will keep everything organized. Read along books that are listed will provide for a listen to reading library! The book and CD pairings have been chosen for their varied content and historical student interest.
A listening station it is a time tested and crucial learning instrument that I would love to incorporate in my classroom to help students grow in literacy!
