Students work hard to learn literary classics, but some of them need an extra hand in appreciating literature. These unabridged books on CD will help all of our kids to enjoy and learn to love great works of fiction.

Currently the library owns one or two cd's of many required reading novels, but we can't meet the demand of our students will reading challenges.

By purchasing the books on CD represented by this list, our students will be able to enjoy Shakespeare, Steinbeck, Orwell and other classic authors in a format appropriate to their learning style.

Adding books on CD will make a huge difference to the struggling readers at ThunderRidge, and help them become lifelong book lovers!
