Books on CD are great for students with reading disabilities, students with low vision, or students who have difficulty tracking while reading. They can also be helpful for students with attention deficit disorder who may have difficulty maintaining focus while reading. Books on CD are also great for students who need to develop their reading fluency in order to comprehend what they are reading. Books on CD allow more students to access the curriculum because the words can be read to them through the CD. One product I found was Learning Ally. The student can have a copy of the book in front of him/her and follow along as the words are being read. This gives more students access to reading material and the general curriculum being taught. In addition, students can pause, rewind, and fast forward while reading.
Below is a video of Learning Ally being used in the classroom and how it can benefit students.
