Rise in CAASP scores and confidence

Last year in 5th grade I used listenwise as a station for one of our rotations in ELA. Student would visit this station and complete the assignment assigned to them through google classroom. I specifically chose lesson that connected to our unit or book we were on. My ELL learners and student who where reading below grade level where able to access the material much easier and build their background knowledge for the class discussions. Based on all of this we saw a rise in our CAASP scores for this school year and in students confidence. Students learned how to take notes while listening and how to navigate a listening lesson (pausing, restarting, and relistening).
