Week 5

In response to Grace Rubenstien's article titled Listening to Literacture: Struggling Readers Respond to Recorded Books. I was very shocked to hear how many students in the classroom discussed in the article were able to pull move up to reading at grade level, just from audio books. I guess I am a little suprised that the students did not grow tired of just listening to the stories over and over again. But, on the other hand, this might have encouraged the kids to pick up their own books to read because they were tired of listening to them. Although, this might not be a stratagy that I would have used with such consistency because of the monotony it creates, students may enjoy it more than I thought.
