If you have a reluctant reader at home, you know the struggle of getting them to curl up with a good book. Often, reading fluency can be a barrier to comprehension. Can you imagine trying to become absorbed in a book when you can't quite keep track of dialogue or decode all of the text? Audiobooks can be a wonderful way to allow readers to hear the intonation and expression of a strong reader. Not only that, but listening to a story allows kids to practice their visualizing skills and access more difficult text. Looking for an app for audiobooks? Check out the Audible app for an entire section devoted to children's audiobooks.
