Lend Your Voice, Open A World!

Do you have a few minutes and a passion for stories? 

 

We are seeking volunteers to read and record chapters of The Hope Chest by Karen Schwabach to ensure all our students—including emerging readers and those who learn best through listening—have full access to their classroom materials.

 

Recording is easy! You can as many chapters as you would like and record from the comfort of your home using your smartphone or computer. We will have microphones available as well as an informational sheet with best read aloud and recording practices to guide you. Your voice will help improve vocabulary, boost comprehension, and foster a lifelong love of reading for students right here at Dallin and all of the elementary schools in Arlington!

 

This is currently a pilot program with hopes of expanding to ensure that every book in the EL Education Curriculum is available for ELA instruction and accessible for all students in APS.

Please complete this sign up and we will reach out shortly with further details. 

 
Thank you!
