Listening to Reading

Children come with varying backgrounds and experiences of being read to. Listening to reading in class helps bolster these home experiences and improve students reading abilities.


Lisa found us the following website for listening to reading:

This is also a good website with lots of classics:

How have you introduced this?
What resources are you using?

I haven't introduced "Listening to Reading" yet as part of the Daily Five. I am following the structure in "Daily Five for Dummies", and we're not up to that part yet. However, the students have been listening to me read to them various picture books when we focus on our CAFE strategies. I'm looking forward to introducing this element of the Daily Five in the weeks to come!
