Starting tonight, there are some books with CDs coming home with students. We have talked about the importance of listening to reading as a way of imrpoving our own reading. That said, I understand that the books coming home are quite lengthy, and I am not expecting students to be able to read the books on their own. I am hoping that they will try to read along and listen and look for words in the text that they know, and follow the story (they are all well known stories). The books are to come back to school the next day so other students may have a turn with them. Happy listening!
