What other teachers are saying:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”I love how engaging your listening center activities are. Thanks!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”Great resource. The listening center is always a favorite with my kinders. I love that this includes several of our beginning of kindergarten books, so the students are already familiar with them. They are always excited to “read” these books again on their own.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”These Listen Up Packets make the listening center so much more effective.”
