I-Pods and Reading
December 6, 2010About 10 years ago, I made a comment to our then support teacher that I thought that some kids would benefit from listening to a book while reading it. She disagreed and today I still have teachers that disagree with my thoughts. However, research has proven me accurate and the Read 180 uses audio versions as well in their program. So I went out and bought shuffles and subscribed to Audible.
Have they made a difference? I think so. The kids are keeping up with the reading and they are comprehending. Are they following along in their books? I don’t know. I do know that they are doing better in class and they are improving their listening skills.
Just a thought.
