The Back to School Listening Center with QR Codes

This Back to School Listening Library includes 24 stories with SafeShare.tv QR codes and one Retelling Story Map. You can use these during your Daily 5 centers: Listen to Reading or as whole group Read Alouds!

All SafeShare.tv QR code links are safe to share with children without being afraid that they can get to potentially inappropriate content. Free of ads and outside links.

If you do not have access to a QR Code Reader, I have also provided a hyperlink to each story. You can simply click on the book cover and it will bring you right to the story. 

Below, I have included a FREE Listening Center task card for you to try out. Simply download a QR Reader app from the app store (most school districts already have them available on your devices). Or simply click on the book cover to follow the SafeShare link:

Once you print these out or project onto your smart board (students can scan the code from your smart board), assign a story for your Listening Center, whole group, small group or guided reading centers. There are enough stories included in this library for the whole month!

After reading, provide the children with a simple story map, sequencing map or related activity to complete after listening to enhance and assess comprehension. In addition to the stories, I have also included a simple Retelling Story Map (Characters, Setting, Problem & Solution).

Happy Listening!

January Listening Center with QR Codes

I have a wonderful class this year, but I'm finding that my Listen to Reading Center is in need of a boost.  Raz-kids is not cutting it any longer so I am starting off 2017 with a new routine.  I created 25 SafeShare QR code Read Alouds with winter themed stories that are sure to interest my firsties. What's great is that there are more than enough read alouds for the entire month! 

I plan to assign a story each day and then have them complete a "generic" story map, sequencing activity, character trait web, etc. after their reading.  This will help me assess for understanding and it will keep them engaged in the literature as well as holding them accountable.  

I will present one Listen To Reading task cards a day and then keep them on display for the remainder of the month.  This way the children can enjoy multiple readings if they finish early.

I'm pretty excited about this venture, especially because I am confident that the QR codes will link my students to a webpage that is free of ads and potentially inappropriate content.  I took most of the read aloud videos from youtube and Storyline Online. I filtered each link through SafeShare.tv which removed ads and pop ups.  Now I don't have to worry about what my students might encounter on the web! Big Yay!

You can purchase the whole set at my TPT store:

Here are a few samples of the task cards I created:
