Applicant and Project Information   Title of project: Strengthening Comprehension Skills at Listening Centers Project manager: Kathleen Kennedy School: Lincoln Curriculum: Reading writing   Part II: Grant proposal   Summary: The Language Arts program for Grade 1 is designed to enhance a child’s reading, speaking, writing and listening skills through exposure to quality literature. We are requesting grant monies for the purpose of purchasing 4 updated wireless listening stations and curriculum- related CDs to enhance first grade literacy skills. Students will benefit from the use of these centers to develop comprehensive reading skills through the auditory modality. A listening station is one of many work stations found in a balanced primary literacy environment. These materials would allow us to increase motivation, engage students and offer varied learning choices. Materials at a listening station can be differentiated for specific learning styles and levels. This grant would support our commitment to creating an environment that encourages the development of all literacy skills.   Part III: Grant Amount Supplies: $400.00 Equipment: $1,180.82 Personnel: $0.00   Total costs: $1,580.82 Back to grants list
