Audio Book and Text Reading
Resources
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 )
