I am a teacher librarian and I am searching for fiction and
non-fiction electronic books for use in an elementary (k - Gr. 7)
public school. The special needs children would benefit from books
that have the capability of text size and color changes, readaloud,
and a built in dictionary. Any great suggestions of where I can
purchase or acquire such resources either online or on CDs or DVDs?

Thank goodness for librarians...one of my favorite groups of people.

You might want to check out BookShare:

Though geared towards audio books for the blind, I believe they also
have resources that might be applicable to special needs students in
general.

Let me know what you think.

I looked at the suggested link but the audio is very flat and there
does not appear to be the capability of manipulating the text.
Unfortunately, this site does not meet my requirements but please keep
searching. Thank you!

Lynda,

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I suppose.

I'll keep looking, and will certainly let you know if anything else
turns up that seems more on target to your needs.
