To enter:  1. Follow Learning Ally on Pinterest. 2. Create a Pinterest board titled "Audiobooks in the Classroom" and highlight ways to utilize audiobooks, especially with struggling readers. 3. Upload your board link to our Wishpond page (this page) on or before May 5, 2017. 4. Wait to see if you've won! That's it! * Note: An alternative way of entry is to email your Pinterest board link to TeacherSupport@learningally.org. Need some PINspiration? Check out our example board here. Also, consider some of the following ideas:  how do you create time and space in your day for your students to listen to audiobooks, how do you encourage and influence other teachers to do the same, how do you continually motivate your students, how do you balance audiobooks with other instructional supports students need, how do audiobooks support reading skill development, how do you incorporate audiobooks into your existing reading/ELA curriculum, how do you encourage at home use and of course you can’t forget to include student impact! Get creative:  use videos (upload first to youtube or vimeo), articles, presentations, pictures, etc.
