The Listen To Reading station is by far the most popular with my students. This is probably because they get to use technology to enjoy books. I spend a significant amount of time teaching my students how to use the technology and how to troubleshoot if they have any problems getting things to work.
There are three ways students can listen to reading during our literacy block.
1. Listen to an audio book on the CD player. I have spent most of my Scholastic book club bonus points on audio books in the past thirteen years. I have a good collection of picture books in both fiction and non-fiction for students to enjoy.
2. Use the laptop computers to visit the following sites on the Internet
Starfall www.starfall.com
Read To Me www.readtomelv.com
World Book Online (requires a subscription) www.worldbookonline.com
PBS Kinds www.pbskids.org
