I have a similar problem but with 4th graders. In addition to audio, the teachers want the students to follow along with text too. Amazon has Whispersync on some titles and I usually go through there, but I do need to buy multiple copies. The other issue I have run into with multiple devices using one text is when one reader/listener gets ahead of the rest. Curious to hear how other districts are managing this.

Good Morning,

I am looking for solutions to an
audio book issue.

Our 8th grade English
classes use a literature circle model - 8 of our special
education students need an audio version of the same
literature circle title
to listen to on their own device (NOT a CD.) The idea
being that students could access the audio title on their
phone with an ear bud and inconspicuously listen to the
title.

I have explored Audible,
Overdrive, and AudioBooks.com. Each of these is a
one-to-one license. Short of purchasing 8 different
copies of the same audio title, what
other solutions exist for schools?

Many thanks in advance for any
advice,
~Aimee
