MP3 Players
Please consider purchasing an Mp3 Player for your child so that s/he is able to read audio books. I have a huge collection of book titles, and series, that I can load onto your child's Mp3 player. And, if they check out the book from our school library, or a public library, then they can read the audio book at home over breaks (I don't allow my personal classroom library books or my Mp3 players to go home). I can loan students one of my personal Mp3 players until they get one of their own, but I don't want this to be a permanent situation. Please plan to get one as soon as you are able.
Kmart, Sears, Amazon, and "ebay" carry inexpensive Mp3 players. The Eclipse players (normally $20.00 or less) have worked well for most students in my prior classes. It's not important to get an expensive player with good sound just for audiobooks. Ease of use for the students so that they can easily find their book, and where they left off reading it the last time, are the most important features; so it does need a screen, even if it's small. If you also want one that you can use for music after this school year, then a Sansa by San Disk is a very good choice that has incredible sound. I have one for music and can't believe the sound quality, and it's easy to use for audiobooks as well, however, they are not cheap (about $40.00 and UP).

For our classroom audiobooks, Amazon and "ebay" have a large selection of Mp3 players for less than $15. The main criteria to look for is an Mp3 (or Mp4) player that has a screen so your child can see their choices, one that has its own memory (no SD card required), and one that doesn't require batteries (you want the kind that has a USB plug-in rechargeable battery).
Sorry, I do not have the equipment, or the know-how, to load audiobooks on ANY Apple product like an iPod. I'm also unable to load books on a Kindle due to the fact that there is a cost for each Kindle book. Students can use an iPod, Kindle, or a Tablet as long as you load the books on the device (they must be AR, and in their reading level). Please click on the "Audiobooks" tab to learn about the many benefits of audiobooks. |
