Librivox

LibriVox: free audiobooks

LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the net (via podcast and catalog). Our goal is to make all public domain books available as free audio books. We are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project.

Got this off the sunlink blog today. I plan to take it back to my teachers who are using recorded books and mp3 players. Many of these classics available on this site are very high AR point getters. Nobody said our kids couldn't "listen" to the story. And who knows? Having someone to read it to them mu=ight motivate them to read ahead or wowo, even finish these long works on their own!
