Many of my students come from homes where they speak languages other than English. School is the only place they hear or learn English.

Being able to hear books read aloud on CD will engage my students and help them learn to love reading and books. Pre-k sets the stage for all the other grades. If I can get them to love reading now, they are set up for success in the following grades.
