‘LoudLit.org: Literature for your eyes and ears’

“Putting the text and audio together, readers can learn spelling, punctuation and paragraph structure by listening and reading masterpieces of the written word. Read and listen via your web browser or on your mp3 player.” – LoudLit.

Details: The collection includes more than 30 public domain authors ranging from Jack London to the Brothers Grimm, shown here. I tried London’s To Build a Fire. A polished narrator read the first page, and I clicked on the right arrow to reach the next. No, you won’t see the cursor gliding over a word being read, but maybe this will be a routine feature of the site in time. If nothing else, given the quality of the London narration and perhaps others, as well as the ability to download the audio files for free, this is a valuable site. LiteralSystems and Librievox.org are other audio sources for LoudLit.
