More Than Listening Centers: Using Audio Books in Literacy Instruction

Scaffold students' reading experiences

"Using audio recordings to support the reading of multicultural literature also enriches the reading experience in several other useful ways besides helping the students deal with dialects. Some of the recordings include music and sound effects.... Audio books mediate and scaffold students' reading experiences of books from other cultures. The benefits extend to other books featuring that culture."
