Children take great pleasure in listening to stories. Tapes and CD's that come with a copy of the book are particularly valuable, because children can follow along as the narrator reads. A wireless listening center with a radio transmitter will help my students be able to listen to good books without getting cords twisted and build a love of reading.
Hearing a book read on tape helps children see how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way. It helps them focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also give kids an important introduction to listening, a skill that they must master in order to learn to read.
