All Children Have Different Eyes: Learn to play and make friends
This is a beautifully illustrated hardbound storybook about two children
with low vision, written for elementary age students.
/All Children Have Different Eyes/ serves as a model for children with
visual impairment on how to confidently play and make friends while
facing difficult social challenges, such as answering questions about
their condition, entering play groups, or handling limitations
responsibly. Classmates will learn to become better friends and
playmates when they discover why a classmate with a visual impairment
sees and plays differently. Parents and teachers will learn how visual
impairment affects social interactions.
Over 40 examples and activities transform the engaging stories into an
interactive workbook for parents and teachers. A glossary for kids and
resources for adults complete this valuable resource.
Learn About:
* Making and keeping friends
* Coping with bullies and other mean people
* Coping with others lack of knowledge
* Coping with mistakes and limitations because of low vision
* Feeling confident even when seeing in different ways than peers see
* How to enter a play group

This site, for students in grades 3 to 12, consolidates book and author
information from several important book lists, including prize winners
and best book sites.
Students can find the names of the books that won awards, the number of
books authors have written, biographical information about the author
(from Wikipedia), book summaries (usually written by the awarding
entity), and other special features, including a lifetime reading list.
A section showing books that are on more than one reading list allows
selective readers to choose books carefully.

"The mission of Assistive Media is to heighten the educational,
cultural, and quality-of-living standard for people with disabilities
and help achieve independence and become better integrated within the
mainstream of society and community life in general. "
AM originally formed in 1996 to create spoken-word recordings of
material printed in inaccessible formats. Using volunteer readers, they
distributed these recordings to libraries for the blind. With the growth
of the internet population and the advent of RealMedia® (software that
allows internet users to easily access long audio files), Assistive
Media launched its service into the web.
Anyone who has access to the internet and a computer with a sound card
can now enjoy AM's eclectic mix of interesting and educational articles
originally published by independent writers or in reputable magazines
like The New Yorker, Harper's, Wired, Scientific American, Atlantic
Monthly, and more. All of AM's audio files are copyrighted and used by
permission of the copyright holder. Podcasts are also available from
their site for any portible MP3 player.

In order to use this site you need to have RealPlayer which is a free
download, you will find the link to download Real Player near the top of
the page.
Why would you want to have RealPlayer for this site? Well because you
get to listen to famous, and not so famous, people read works of
literature.
In the "Kid's Corner" you can listen to the tale of Peter Rabbit, and
right next door you could listen to Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland.
Not to forget great literary works like Macbeth, The Illiad or the The
Aeneid.
There is also poetry from "classic English poems, including poetry by
Blake, Burns, Byron, Donne, Herbert, Hunt, Keats, and Shakespeare," to
the "Den of Lions" poems, and the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
Not to mention all the wonderful non-fiction and fiction that you can
listen to! This site gets an A++ in my opinion for being so diverse, and
for bringing so many wonderful poems, and stories together in one place
for people to listen to. Wired For Books http://wiredforbooks.org/

Visions of Poets
From the website:
“Listening to a poet reading and discussing his or her work will almost
always lead to new insights about a poem. In the Poet Vision Video
Series you can see and hear some of the country's most eminent poets,
past and present. Allen Ginsberg, Robert Penn Warren, Rita Dove, Lucille
Clifton and Stanley Kunitz are among the 12 poets in this series. Five
of the 12 have served as Poet Laureate of the United States (the Poet
Laureate is selected by the Librarian of Congress).”
