Delaney, the Ipod, and Cam Jansen




So, Delaney wants to read books that are NOT on her independent reading level. She flat out refuses :-) Its not a bad thing...It just made me have to think out of the box. So I decided to have her use audible.com. I choose books, download them to an Ipod and she listens while she follows along with her finger.

It worked like magic. After she listens to the same book 2 or 3 times...her choice, not mine, she can then read the book without the i-pod. Her reading has improved dramatically in just a few weeks! I can 't say enough about it.

She has read about 10 of the Cam Jansen's and Loves them. They are cute little mysteries with a female protagonist. Early 2nd grade reading level.
