This audio center is something that has been needed for such a very long time. Our students, often coming in with limited English, will be able to access specific books on tape, as we all dive into our group and classroom texts. Many times, struggling readers will have alternative book options due to their literacy and phonic skills deficit. They need a high-level amount of both of these tools in order to access grade level materials. Many of them do not read on level, and often I will give them alternative book options, pair them with a partner to read, or re-read with them later in a small group. Time, of course, does not always allow me to do the last part I previously mentioned.
The Audio Reading Center will not only help them in building up reading confidence, but it will also allow them to independently access more on-level, critical reading material to be successful.
