Audiobooks are a great way for parents to help their children improve their reading skills, expand their vocabulary, and entertain them. They provide the opportunity to hear fluent reading with a bit of flair, help their child associate reading with pleasure, and teach them to visualize a story by using their imagination rather than pictures. They are also a great way to rest your voice and get them to sleep after reading a bedtime story. Some of my children's favorite books are The Story of Charlotte's Web, Jamie Lee Curtis's personal collection, and "Tell me about the night I was born."
A quick test! With the press of a button, how can you do the following:
Can you help your children improve their reading skills?
Expand their vocabulary?
Can you help them sit quietly (and willingly!)? and entertain them as well?
Simply listen to audiobooks!
That's correct. Listening to books on tape, Mom and Dad, provides all of these advantages and more.
Did you know that your children's intelluctual capacity will be greater than their reading ability for a significant portion of their childhood? That is, they can understand material that they would be unable to read when it is read aloud to them. Isn't it fascinating?
My kids enjoy audiobooks, and I appreciate that they do. As a homeschooling mother of four children, I read aloud frequently. Audiobooks allow me to rest my voice.
When you're in the car running errands, you can listen to books on tape. Naptime and bedtime are also popular times to read a story. (And if your kids are anything like mine, you tire out long before they do, so books on tape are a lifesaver for getting them to sleep after you've read them a bedtime story!)
Listening to audio books improves your child's ability to listen, which is critical for academic success.
Audio books also provide your child with the opportunity to hear fluent reading with a bit of flair... many of them are read by the author or professional actors.
If your child is having difficulty reading, audio books help your child associate reading with pleasure...which is critical if your child is to develop a lifelong love of reading!
Audio books teach your child to visualize a story by using their imagination rather than pictures (watching television, on the other hand, trains the brain to be lazy and rely on images).
Why not put your child on the fast track to reading success by simply pressing the play button? Here are some of my children's favorite books to get you started:
The Story of Charlotte's Web (read by the Author, E.B. White)
Jamie Lee Curtis's personal collection (And I dare you not to cry while listening to "Tell me about the night I was born!"
