How do you promote "Listening to Reading?"

In our staff meeting today, we discussed various ways you might utilize technology to help students listen to reading. What are you trying in your classrooms? Add a comment here and you just might get a little treat for sharing.


It’s great but you only get 5 books before you have to purchase.
4. Tumblebooks Go to the St. Louis County Library Home Page. Click on “Kids” (blue bar-right). Click on “Books” (left bar). Click on “Books and Games--TumbleBooks Library” (bottom-left).
books for purchase but need to go to website to buy, some free that stay on the bookshelf; highlights words as they read; can read by themselves or it reads to them.
-includes featured stories that will read aloud to students
-animated stories
-activity lab- illustrate a story and activity calendar
-poetry splater- color prompts for parts of speech (fill in)
-art studio
-review the book (student feedback - love it hate it)
-email a post card to teacher or student

After the Unconference we like the idea of a big bookshelf rather than one for each kid or level.  Like the appeal of an app over a website.
