My goal is to provide MP3 players for students to "check out" in order to facilitate their reading of texts that are too difficult for them to read on their own. Many of my students are embarrassed on days we go to the library because they cannot find material to check out that they can actually read. With an MP3 player, students can follow along with the audiobook and be able to comprehend the material because they are hearing it read correctly. Students will be able to take home a copy of the book and an unabridged audible version of the text. These MP3 players will open up new worlds to children who have never been able to experience the excitement of reading.
