For a child who is Dyslexic or who has trouble keeping up with classroom reading, the multi-sensory pairing of an audio book with a classroom text can be an excellent choice, in helping them to keep pace with the rest of the classroom. Below is a list of companies and organizations that have audio books available, some for rental and others for purchase. Sites for text to speech are also included.
Also check your local library of the internet for book downloads (ebooks) to MP3 players and/or computers. Books can be downloaded from some of the major audio book companies (Recorded Books Inc.) for three weeks and renewed once, before they expire for an additional three weeks or for purchase. (An additional site to download books to MP3 players is kitabe.com )
