In primary grades reading is fundamental toward future success. With this project I hope to accomplish the goal of creating an enticing, student centered reading station where students can listen to stories and follow along with books. The important of the Yoto player is that there is no screen, like the other options available, so students will be encouraged to follow along with the words on the page. It also provides me the opportunity to read books that represent their diverse backgrounds, and they can listen to them over and over! This listening station will have the added bonus of letting students partner read together by sharing a headphone audio splitter to the player itself.
