Academic: Targeted Interventions and Supports
Listening centers
Teachers can create specially designed listening centers for some children who need additional supports to learn. Instructional scripts containing visual and auditory cues are pre-recorded onto compact discs. Children listen to the scripts based on a supplemental curriculum using headphones and respond to interactive activities.
Visit the CRTIEC website for more information on how to use listening centers as a targeted intervention.
