SmartReader
These high-interest/controlled level texts - recorded at two speeds - feature a teacher's guide and printed text with each set. Perfect for struggling readers!

High-interest/controlled level text recorded at two speeds.
Text and Teacher's Guide included with each audio recording!

RECORDED AT SLOWER SPEEDS Includes two tapes with slower narration speeds from our professional narrators. When students achieve success at the slower speed, they can move on to the faster pace.

  • Tape one is recorded significantly slower than normal conversation (40%), perfect for struggling readers to follow along.
  • Tape two is recorded at a moderate reading pace, still slightly slower than standard Recorded Books.

    • TWO READING LEVELS IN EXCITING TOPICS
    Texts cover topics that interest middle/high-school and adult students, but at reading levels that are appropriate for even your most challenged students.

  • Level One SmartReaders are written on a first- to second-grade reading level.
  • Level Two SmartReaders are written on a third- to fourth-grade reading level.
  • Topics include histories, biographies, mysteries, adventures, and more!
  • Each SmartReader is narrated by a professional actor who brings the text to life.
  • Several titles are available in Spanish!

    • EACH SMARTREADER INCLUDES

  • Audiobook specially written to interest middle/high school students, in Level One or Level Two reading levels.
  • Two tapes, one at 40% slower and one at 17% slower than normal conversation.
  • Read-along text to accompany the audiobook.
  • An easy-to-use Teacher's Guide.
  • Additional copies of the text are available in packs of five for $15.00. Call to order.

    • "My LD students really enjoyed Emma's triumph [Emma's Nightmare: The Voyage of the Titanic] and Michael Jordan: Out of Thin Air. They are fascinated with stories about sports heroes and about the Titanic. These stories are short enough to hold their interest, with carefully controlled vocabulary levels."
    -C. Sherwin,     LD Resource teacher, Roodhouse, IL



    Available on Compact disc and cassette.
