Hearing a book read on tape helps students 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. They also give an important introduction to listening - a skill that they must master to learn to read. I will use the listening center as a part of my literacy program. This will provide an opportunity for the children to read their favorite books read aloud again and again.
