Many newspapers now feature audio versions of their stories available through their websites. A commercial offering of these is at http://www.newsworthyaudio.com/
or simply browse newspapers on line and look for the links to audio versions of their stories. If there is enough vision for students to read along, the values of this service include hearing English words pronounced properly while seeing it in print and a greater involvement in their community by seeing and hearing a local news story, complete with correct pronunciation of local place names and people. Another example is the Newspaper Voices project, which our organization founded with the Vancouver Sun in Canada. You can see pages on this at http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/voices/index.html I hope these are helpful.
