There’s no denying that most people hated reading as children. Few children enjoy reading, especially when there is an alternative.
Audio books have now given children greater access to materials they do not enjoy reading.
Of course, they still need to read, but reading material and listening makes reading much more interesting.
Many schools are now bringing audio books not only to the students’ homes, but also to the classrooms.
Experts in the education sector agree that audiobooks in the classroom help students more than regular books, especially those who are just starting to read or are struggling to read.
Below are 10 specific benefits of using audiobooks for students:
1. The use of audio books as teaching material for children at school gives them “diversity”. Rather than just listening to their teacher, they benefit from the change that comes with having “another” teacher.
2. There are special audio books for children that are not only educational but also very entertaining. These types of audiobooks make learning much more fun than regular classes.
3. Using audio books to teach children at school gives teachers more time to prepare for the next lesson. Teachers can play the audio book for the kids while they are doing something else.
4. Children with reading difficulties can follow the readings from audio books slowly until they feel comfortable reading.
Simply following an audio book to read along while looking at the printed material in front of them can increase their learning ability by a very large percentage.
5. Audiobooks save money. Instead of buying dozens of books for a classroom, only one audio book can be played for all students in the classroom.
There are certain audio book rental services on the Internet, such as B. Jiggerbug.com, which allow teachers to borrow as many audiobooks as possible at a very low cost. This is much more cost-effective than having to buy even a single audio book.
6. Audio books that tell interesting stories are very helpful at times when children are too tired to read and study.
Most importantly, popular stories that children love are very interesting to them.
7. Children don’t like printed books as much as audio books. They feel much more comfortable “listening” to an audio book than “reading” a book.
8. With audio books, children also deal with the pronunciation of certain words that they would have difficulty with just reading. By hearing the pronunciation and seeing it in print, they would understand it better.
All in all, most children enjoy listening to a lesson via audio instead of having to read it. That’s why kids spend a lot of time watching movies instead of reading.
No wonder more and more schools are using audio book technology to teach their children. And since the services are now freely available on the Internet, it’s now more affordable than ever.
