There are many reasons why audio books are a really good idea for kids and businesses. For kids, it's an ideal way to help them learn to read, especially when you find audio and written books in one package. Many times, these books are read aloud by their author, or even a famous actor, and can have a music or sound track on it as well. You don't need any light, so an audio book can be listened to at any time. An audio book may also help them fall asleep at night, especially when a parent who may read to them is away.
Kids audio books can do exactly this, and using audio books is generally cheaper and better for the planet than purchasing the hard copy version from the local bookstore.Kids audio books are a prime way to do this. A young, emerging reader might struggle with words in chapter books, but our listening comprehension levels are higher than independent reading.
Plus, listening to an audio book means students are hearing the words pronounced correctly, and are listening to a very fluent, capable reader...all of which are important skills to master both for school and for life. This means it's entirely possible for kids who can physically read simple books, such as the Junie B. series, to easily listen to much more advanced books such as Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. Additionally, listening to kids audio books is something that doesn't even have to take up additional time, which can be hard to find if your student is involved in extra-curricular activities. Kids already love listening to their mp3 players...why not take advantage of this and help them improve their reading skills at the same time?
