What is the instructional purpose of the Audiobooks?
Audiobooks provide struggling readers access to grade level literature. Students are able to read materials that they would not normally be able to read without audio support. There are two voices on the Audiobooks: a narrator who models fluent reading while the student follows along in his or her copy of the book, and a reading coach who interjects at certain points to model comprehension, vocabulary, and other metacognitive reading strategies.
