I've checked the archives and didn't find anything that specifically addressed this. I am thinking about what to do to help my struggling readers--particularly those 3-5 graders who really want to read those "higher level" books, but need some extra help. My collection has a small number of books on CD and we also have some listening centers and I was thinking that I could offer to set one up in the library for small groups to come and use. In previous years, the Books-on-CD were allowed to circulate, but the librarian just before me stopped circulating them (fear of loss/damage I believe). What I'm wondering is whether it would be more beneficial to these particular students to have the Playaways with an attached paperback book or to add to the collection of Books-on-CD and allow those to circulate. To those of you who are using Playaways or Books-on-CD in your elementary school: 1. Which (if either) format seems to work best for those struggling readers? 2. Do you allow the Playaways/CDs to circulate? 3. What are some of the pros and cons you've personally observed? I will post a hit if there are any responses. -- Ronda Y.
