Encourage their love of learning with Audio Books
How Parents benefit from Audio Books We all know that reading to our children is a creative and fun way to help them learn. But as busy parents, we often don’t have the time to sit down and read with them. Audio Books provide a viable and enjoyable way for parents to supplement their reading time with their kids while still fostering learning, self-development and exploration.Audio Books can also be used as a bridge to reading for those children who struggle or are less inclined to read. Studies have shown that audio books can be used to motivate students to make the connection to actual books, thus helping to facilitate reading skills. They also offer a wonderful alternative to television and video games. What makes our Audio Books unique? You might think that all audio books are made alike, but you’d be wrong!

Reading To Young Children Improves Language And Cognitive Development
An infant's brain structure is not genetically determined. Early experiences have a decisive impact on the architecture of the baby's brain. Mothers who begin reading to their children at a very early age have toddlers with greater language comprehension, larger, more expressive vocabularies and higher cognitive scores by the age of two.
A study at Rhode Island Hospital compared two groups of eight month olds – one group was read to often as babies, while the other was not. Those who were read to had their “receptive” vocabularies (number of words they understand) increase 40 per cent since babyhood, while the non-reading group increased by only 16 per cent.
According to a 1985 study by the National Commission on Reading, “reading aloud to children is the single most important intervention for developing their literacy skills”.
The American Academy Of Pediatrics Recommends Daily Reading To Children From Six Months Of Age
Listening to these stories will enhance their vocabularies and help them use longer sentences, while increasing their attention span and ability to focus on what is being said.
When you play these stories to your child, you are building the pathways in their brains needed for successful reading experiences.
