I found this symbaloo mix tonight:
http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/reading2ndgrade
When you open up this page there are more than 20 links to stories being read aloud! Click on them and have some fun. Some even have follow up activities and/or printables as well. Georgia has also listed several links on the previous post about web resources.
I think the biggest challenge we face is not finding stories read aloud but, how do we listen to them! Our Stage 2's have access to the IPods which is very helpful. Of course that will take some sharing etiquette as we mostly all do D5 in the morning session. Splitters were one suggestion. In that case do we need some more headphones? Will this work? We also have access to the Listening Posts. Is this a practical solution? How can we use these effectively? I believe that the way we manage Listening to Reading will determine the most effective way to use the resources we have.
How are you doing Listening to Reading in your class?
What are the resources you mostly use?
How do you manage student access to the equipment eg whole class or small group?
Would love to hear some ideas on the topic from everyone!

I am so glad that we had the discussion about Listening to Reading. Last term we did all our 'Listen to Reading' as a whole class.
We have a listening post next to the classroom computer and I was going to try and use that this term.
We have used it with the laptop attached to the IWB and it worked well.
I would love some ideas on how to use it as part of the D5.
I'm off to trawl the net to find some ideas.

This is a chat about how to implement D5 and Read to someone.
One of the people suggests not using headphones, but using a small group to sit near the media and listen to it quietly.
Wow Georgia....you are a google queen. Amazing how much can be found if you just look hey! Thanks for all these wonderful links. Be hard pressed if you can't find an idea or story to listen to amongst those resources.
Would be interested to see how kids went without headphones hey? Maybe they are up for it? They have suprised us so far :)
I didn't even think of just letting them listen without headphones until I'd seen it on that site. Maybe try it next week and see?
