Posted By FeedCrazy On 15/04/2010 @ 08:16 pm In Parenting | No Comments

The benefits of audio books enhance your child’s reading abilities and do not take away from the bonds created by the parent and child reading together.

I do not personally sell audio books; I provide cheap [1] leaflet printing, [2] pet insurance as well as [3] fostering advice on a part time basis.

Among the many benefits of audio books for children are:

* Improved listening skills. You child will listen as the story is read. Most devices employ headphones which block out distractions. This allows your child to concentrate on and enjoy the book without interruption.

* Increased comprehension and vocabulary. Audio books are read by professional readers, actors, and authors. They are able to give meaning to the words of the story using their voices. This will help children learn to pronounce new words and understand words in context.

* Improved imagination. Children will create images in their mind to go along with the story. The images will aid the child’s memorization skills and help them understand the concept of active reading.

* Motivation. It is a well known fact that kids and teenagers will read far more literature when they are able to do it via an audio book. Many kids from around the globe tend to purchase a book when a particular favourite film comes out. Audio books can have a similar affect. They will want to continue reading their favorite stories and more work by their favorite author.

* Create an independent reader. The goal of reading instruction is to create independent readers. The main benefit of audio books is that they play are large part in this process. Some recordings have book that follow along with the narrator allowing to the child to read with the audio book. Children will learn new vocabulary, voice inflection, and how to read through punctuation.

* Audio books can be enjoyed by the whole family. A spoken text can be used anywhere not just in the school room or in a persons house. Take them on the road. An audio book is especially easy to follow for people who are on a journey when travelling. You can also help your child make her own audio digital books. Let her read a book into a recorder. This is fun and encourages independence.
