Kindergarten Listening Center Supplementary Materials

This listening center resource for Kindergarten includes materials to help you teach students listening center procedures. 

It also includes the “Reading Zoo” tracking system to help you and your students see their progress throughout the year! 

This resource is for you if you want to:
- Teach your students to stay on task at the listening center
- Show students how to troubleshoot simple technology problems
- Help students track their progress with a simple, fun system that doesn’t take away time from listening to books
- Keep students engaged in the listening center throughout the school year

This resource may not be for you if:
- You are looking for lots of reading response activities or worksheets (At the listening center, my students just listen to books. I keep reading response as a separate center. If you are interested in reading response activities, please learn more about my reading response pack HERE!)

Here’s what’s included:
- 11 lesson plans to teach procedures, routines, and expectations for the listening center
- Printable materials for the “Reading Zoo” tracking system in which students color in a circle on a half-sheet for each text they listen to, and then color in an animal for every half-sheet they fill up

These materials can be used with any kind of listening center, as long as students have opportunities to listen to texts (on the computer, with a CD player or tape recorder, on a tablet, etc.). I’ve also included suggestions for setting up your listening center.
