READING and WRITING OPTIONS 

Reading Options: Listen to Reading

Our listening center consists of four FP3 players.  The PF3 player will hold 15 books or 30 songs (or a combination of the two for up to 128 MB of play time.  I create "Play List Menus" using WORD.  My menus are located with the books that are featured on the play list menu.  The FP3 player lists the title of the book or song, but you can name your play list selections (using the FP3 software program) #1, #2 and so forth; OR you can assign symbols to books that show up on the FP3 player's screen (with title scrolling across the top).   My first graders have had no trouble forwarding through the songs/books to get to the desired book title.
