Teacher Prejudice - Research-based information, student testimonial, more research

Teacher Fear - Start with one teacher and be accountable with documentation

How we use Audio Books

Teachers assign or students volunteer. Tutor reads and listens along with student. CD is stopped every 20 minutes for

reflection, discussion, questions and answers.

Learning Logs. Teacher generated worksheets. Tutor and student continue to read and

listen together. With multiple jacks, one tutor can listen

along with up to three students at a time.
