    My dyslexic dd relies on audio for most of her reading assignments in school. She's used publisher-provided digital textbooks for science/history/etc and Learning Ally for fiction/etc. She's just encountered her first Shakespeare assignment... and is frustrated with how it's read on Learning Ally - the recording includes words that aren't part of the actual text... not easy to explain unless I could hold the book up to the screen while you're reading this post smile

    What programs/software/services/tools do other students use? Any suggestions?

    Thanks!!!

    Nearly all Kindle books can read aloud. She could also try one of the many dramatic readings available through the library. One of the pluses of Shakespeare is that there are many, many audio recordings of the text. Just follow along on any printed version.

    How about watching the actual play?

    Free Shakespeare audio: LibriVox.

    If your library does Hoopla Digital they also have a lot on audio.

    List of good film adaptations using original dialogue (supposedly).
