A fellow homeschooler asked on forum about good websites for audio books. I thought they might be of use to you aswell.

Storynory – Good site for younger children.

Free Classic Audio Books – Some great stories for older children.
Playtime Books – This site only has 1 free book and the rest are paid downloads.
LibriVox – Fantastic site with lots of chapter books.
I saw this cool idea for teaching letter recognition and was keen to have a go with the girls. You write the letters of the alphabet on some card or paper and cut and paste letters from magazines over the letters. For Faith I just did capital letters as that is what she recognises best so far. Bethany has been confusing a few of her upper and lower case letters lately so I did both for her. I just wrote the letters on some cardboard from an old beer box.
