SteadyReader
Recorded Books SteadyReaders feature authentic literature recorded at a slower pace.
Now all of your students can enjoy the same great literature!

AUTHENTIC LITERATURE RECORDED 10-15% SLOWER

  • The slightly slower speed of our SteadyReaders enables students who find it difficult to keep up with most audiobooks to listen and read along.
  • Award-winning actors dramatically narrate the text, helping students understand difficult words and correct intonation.
  • Once students are comfortable at this slower speed, they are ready to move on to reading and listening to texts recorded at normal speeds.
  • Each side of the tape is about 20 minutes long, perfect for short, accessible reading sessions.
  • ESL STUDENTS AND SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS CAN JOIN THEIR PEERS

  • ESL and special needs students can increase their English-language proficiency and still listen to the same audiobooks as their peers.
  • SteadyReaders promote speaking skills as students listen to correct pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm.
  • Great for advanced ESL or special needs students who have moved beyond the slower speeds of Recorded Books' SmartReader and are ready for authentic literature.
  • ESL and special needs students will be better prepared to take an active part in classroom discussion.
  • AVAILABLE IN CONVENIENT PACKAGES

  • The SteadyReader audiobook can be purchased alone for listening or as a great addition to the print version you already own.
  • Our Homework Packs include both the unabridged SteadyReader audiobook and a print book for following along.
  • Class Sets allow all of your students to have a print book of their own. Call for more ordering information!


  • Available on Compact disc and cassette.
