An approach that you might want to consider is the Start to Finish
Reading Scheme, which you can see on our site at
http://www.dyslexic.com/itemMatrix.asp?GroupCode=Start2Finish&eq=&Matrix
Type=1
These are available in audio as well as text and are designed for easy
reading whilst having modern themes. I'm not sure about whether you
could (within copyright) get them onto MP3.

Subject: [LIS-LINK] Teenage audiobooks on mp3
Hello,
I wonder if anyone can help me out please. I work in a secondary
school library and have been asked to get some contemporary teenage
audiobooks on mp3. I think this is an excellent idea but have found it
extremely complicated. I want to buy them individually ie, not join a
club/pay a monthly fee/have to change books every month...because we are
a school and not a bottomless money pit!
Most of the audiobook websites I've researched either stock books
which are out of copyright, so books older than time itself, which our
inner city students have no interest in, or you have to join and be a
member.
Does anyone stock mp3s in their library? Does anyone know where I can
buy mp3 audiobooks without all the joining fee hassle?
And also, where on earth would we be able to store them if we did
manage to buy one? I'd love for the students to be able to download them
themselves from out intranet, but realise this is a big fat copyright
no!
Has anyone tried anything like this or has any ideas as to how it
could work please?
Thanks
