Right-- an audiobook selection, 40 minutes, that's roughly 10 pages, yes? That seems quite modest in ANYONE's estimation. Shouldn't that take 20 minutes or less?

Else I'd argue that the reading level is wrong for the student-- assuming, (as noted originally) that there isn't an LD getting in the way of reading text, and in that case, text-to-speech ought to be available as an accommodation for students as they work at home.
