**Ms. Jae's Online Listening Center**

Each Monday your child will be bringing home a new book and will keep this book for the duration of the week. I would like for you and your child to conduct three simple tasks.

The first is to sit down and read the book together, there will be some that are longer than others and can be broken down into more than one reading session.

The next is to come to this page and click on the corresponding podcast for the current week's book. Have your child sit and listen to the podcast (which is a recording of me reading the book) and follow along in their copy of the book. There will be questions following the podcast, so it is beneficial for you to sit and listen with your child and help them brainstorm some answers and more questions.

Finally, have your child sit and attempt to read the book on their own. Encourage them to sound out words they don't know, but provide guidance as needed.

Every Friday the children are to return their books to me and we will hold a discussion about the book.

The purpose of the Online Listening Center is to keep the kiddos exposed to literature at home and at school. Also, I'm hoping it will be a fun way for you to encourage your children to read!

 This week is our very first Online Listening Center! We will be reading //The Velveteen Rabbit//, written by Margery Williams and illustrated by David Jorgensen. This is a longer book and it may be beneficial for you to have your child listen to this in more than one sitting.
