Audiobooks.

Thanks for the responses about audiobooks. I’ll post the responses in a little bit, just to see if I get any more.

My plan is to try to start one for use with my ELL students and struggling readers. @quillelizabeth pointed out that AB’s limit a reader’s voice which is I why want to use them for students who are still struggling with reading comprehension or are reluctant readers. I think I’m going to pilot a listening station in my ELL class and see how it goes. I think I will probably set up a donorschoose project to try to fund it. Audiobooks ain’t cheap, man.

Ooh! In the same vein: anyone have any good apps or sites that have an audio and or visual component to reading? My co-teacher has a subscription to RAZ kids which I’m still fooling around with but my ELLs seem to be enjoying and using. Any other suggestions?

EnglishCentral.com is an excellent site that might be something you can use for any of your students, not just ELLs....
