You already know that I'm a limited obsessed with audiobooks.
And my girls are hooked on them too. Ella spends nearly all of her quiet time each day listening to audiobooks while she colors or paints, and Ani loves the audiobooks that reach with the accompanying picture book.
A few months ago, or one of my friends sent me a text saying her husband was concerned approximately their children listening to audiobooks and that it might be a crutch that was preventing them from developing reading skills.
Twenty impassioned texts from me later approximately why audiobooks are basically the best thing on soil,and she was probably regretting texting at all.
Here are eight reasons I'm a huge fan and why I think they are so beneficial for kids:They can usually listen at a much higher level than they can read. Your child might be reading at a kindergarten or first grade level, but they can probably listen to something much more advanced (just like a kindergarten teacher might read aloud a Roald Dahl book that your kindergartener would beget a tough time reading alone).
It makes reading a fun activity for kids that struggle with reading. If you're a struggling reader, or it's tough to ever get to the parts of reading that are actually fun (most of us that love to read don't love it because of the decoding section . . .),like the story itself. I love that audiobooks mean kids can beget positive reading experiences even when they're struggling with their reading skills.
