Transcript
The listening center is a wonderful place the children love to come and visit. It's important for them to hear the story language. Sometimes I like to add in little props, which also helps them tell the story. I've taken some of our favorite stories from the listening center and added in props so that the children can choose whichever story they would like to listen to on their own.
