TumbleReadables (Books for all ages)
is an online collection of read-along titles for elementary, middle school, and high school students which features adjustable online text and complete audio narration. Sentences are highlighted as they are being read and the pages turn automatically. The collection features chapter books, early readers, YA/TeenNovels, high interest/low level books for both middle school and high school students, plus classics of American and English literature.

The books are also great fun for anyone who wants to listen to an audio book. Read along books are great for emergent, struggling, and reluctant readers, as well as being an excellent tool for English as Second Language.
