February Listening Center with QR Codes
Happy February!
Every month, I share ideas for listening center books and this month, I’m sharing lots of great books for the month of February!
In the printable below, you’ll find a QR code that students can scan to listen to the story being read aloud.
How QR Code Cards Work
The students simply scan the QR code with a tablet and click on the link. The links for the read aloud books go to a website called SafeShare.tv, which has no ads, pop-ups, or other distractions…just a read aloud of the book! If your are using the QR codes at your school, you will need to make sure this website is not blocked by your district.
Setting up the Listening Center
To set up your listening center, just follow these simple steps:
- Print on card stock paper
- Laminate the cards for durability
- Cut out the cards
- Hole punch the cards and put them on a ring
You will need to teach your students how to use the QR codes for the listening center.
