Just Books Read Aloud
Here is a great website you can use with an iPad or iPod, called Just Books Read Aloud. There are over 100 books, a small sample shown below, available for read aloud. All free and easily accessible, with great stories.
This would make for a great link on your iPads or iPods if you are using them as learning centers in a classroom. And with an audio splitter, you can have two students sharing one iDevice.
This website offers a collection of a few thousand books with options to have books read to the student, where you choose the voice. Since the books at Tar Heel Reader are written for all beginning readers, most of the content is perfect for younger readers, though some of the books might be more appropriate for older students. Find the most appropriate category for your students and save a direct link to those books on your iPad or iPod.
