I know when I started The Daily Five I really wanted to know how other teachers were organizing their classroom and materials. One thing I discovered was that everyone had their own way of doing things. Below you will find a few ideas from my classroom about organizing and executing Listen to Reading.
I do have a fairly large listening library which includes books on cassette and books on cd. I have purchased everyone of them through scholastic book orders. If you do not have a listening library, check out TumbleBooks.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I was just complaining to another teacher today about how my kids STILL can't keep the books and tapes together at the listening center and the year is almost over. I totally had an A-HA moment (and a DUH! moment, too!!) when I read this post! I have TOO many books out at one time! I'm going in tomorrow morning and taking all but 5 books out of the bin and see if that helps! Thanks!

I hope it does help. I'm sure you have enough to do without having to organize your listening area everyday.

Thanks for your great ideas. Listen to Reading has been the hardest Daily 5 station for me.
