Inexpensive Listening Centers
This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.
If you buy a listening center from Caliphone with a carry case, an MP3 Player/Recorder, 4 position stereo jackbox & 4 headphones it will cost you $273! That does not include any tapes, CD’s, or books. Considering most teachers barely get enough stipend (if any at all!) to cover basic classroom necessities- a packaged learning center like this can really hit you hard. My husband has put together this list to help decrease that cost.
Products to Purchase:Â
*4 GB MP3 player online
*Â 5 Port Stereo Headphone Splitter
* 4 headphones
*Search audible.com, emusic.com , and/or amazon.com 
and purchase MP3 audiobooks (look for package deals)
*Use Scholastic Dollar Sales and/or garage sales/thrift stores to purchase books
Our Total Cost was $52.43 + shipping + audiobooks & real books. If you’re careful about deals on the books you can get an entire package- a BETTER variety than Caliphone offers- for $100! That saves you $173!!
