[CASL-L] audio books

[Elaine Lettiere]

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.
