Motivate students to read with QR Listening Centers

My students love hearing their favorite books being read. They love to hear them over and over. This is also a great way to get reluctant readers to read by listening to familiar text. So familiar that they begin to know how the story goes. Last year I begin making QR codes for their favorite books in the reading center. This was so popular that students were racing to the reading center so they could grab their favorite book and listen. So I decided to create a whole listening center dedicated to favorite monthly read alouds.
I am amazed how they listen to the same stories over and over, but this also makes my teacher heart so happy because I know I am instilling in them the love of a good book. Now that's exciting.
I also wanted to check on their understanding as they were reading. At the end of each week for their Friday reading check up, they choose one book to retell, character analysis or BME. This listening center has been a game changer for checking their comprehension. Sometimes those struggling readers are not reading up to grade level standards so they can struggle with retell. However since using these QR listening centers, students are able to listen many time during the week and month so they are able to concentrate more on their understanding.
