But they have downloadable Audio Books too, they were pretty cool! And the "test" has an awful computer voice!

Tried to "reply to all" to Barbara Johnson's comment but it wasn't going through properly.
Yes, the iconn articles are read aloud. However, they are read aloud by an automated voice. Having been on YALSA best audiobook committees for several years, and having had training for audiobook narration, I cringe listening to this sort of "reading aloud." I'd concentrate instead on audiobooks of quality narrative nonfiction, read by professional narrators--if only not to turn kids off of listening to recorded books!
I'll see what I can find.

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 PhillipsK-5 Library Media
