Many of the Database articles in the www.iconn.org resources have a “read to me” feature.
Kids could research a topic of interest, listen to the article, and record their information for you.
We use this with our young researchers all the time!

Subject: [CASL-L] listening comprehension
Hello all,
I’m in the midst of planning my SLO and one school-wide goal is to increase listening comprehension. Our MAPS scores showed we are quite low in the area of students listening to a non-fiction passage and answering comprehension questions. Does anyone know of resources (online or iPad apps) where I could find a variety of K-5 non-fiction audio books or passages (preferably free) for students to listen to? I would not want them to be able to read along as this is strictly for listening comprehension. If there are comprehension questions to go with them, all the better. Otherwise, I could create my own as I will need to show data and growth.
Thanks in advance,
Torrie Phillips
