[CASL-L] Reluctant Reader help

[Cheryl Robertson]

Hi Matt,
I just requested a sample Wonderbook
<https://www.playaway.com/our-products/wonderbook/all>.  They sent me *Slugfest
*by Gordon Korman.  The Wonderbook is a regular hardcover book with an
audio feature attached to it.  I read it, and a student is using it now.
I'm eager to see what she thinks.  The speed, which could not be regulated,
was slow for me but will probably be just right for struggling readers.
It's just one more option for our kids.  :)
