Bringing new audiobooks into your library or classroom will help foster a love of reading:
• Listening is an important step for becoming a lifelong reader. "Children who are better listeners are better learners…In particular, children who comprehend better through listening do the same when reading." (Pinnell & Jagger 2003)
•

Vocabulary development is key in reading development. Listening to an audiobook introduces students to literally thousands of words.

•

Fluency is also a key factor in the reading process and audiobooks provide just that—a good reading role model.

•

Special populations within the school benefit from the use of audiobooks, which provide these students with reading experiences that are not as frustrating as the traditional approach.

"While audiobooks offer much for both struggling and reluctant readers, even the best of readers want to experience a great story shared by a gifted storyteller. Listening Library's finely crafted unabridged audiobooks do just that—they connect all readers to books in a way that is highly engaging and richly rewarding."
—Rose Brock, Library Media Specialist, TX

The list of reasons goes on and on why audiobooks are an important tool in literacy development. Now is a great opportunity to build your collection with bestselling, affordable audiobooks.
