Pre-K Listening Station

Students will be given an opportunity during center time to listen to stories independently. While they are listening to their story they will be gaining vocabulary, text and book knowledge, as well as other skills needed to prepared them for independent reading.

When they have finished listening to a story there will be an opportunity for them to reflect on what they just heard. They will document their favorite part of the story in a developmentally appropriate way. This will be done through drawings, writing (for students who are at this level), and verbally talking about it with the teacher.

This opportunity to reflect will provide them another opportunity to continue to build their comprehension skills and their able to communicate what they just heard. Both of these skills will be very important as they progress in school and are asked to independently read and reflect on their reading.
