It is a digital recording of whatever book is being used that the student's can listen to as an aid in their learning. It is useful for both children who cannot see and thus cannot read the written word or do not have access to school books written in braille or it is also useful for children with other learning disabilities. It can also be used as an extra tool in a multi-sensory approach where the students could be listening while reading along with the book. This would be a great addition to any classroom as it seems easy to use for any child and could provide a great adaptation for those with disabilities.
