Parent’s Guide to Enjoyable Listening
• Share an audiobook on a family road trip.
Summer car travel is the perfect time to listen to audiobooks.
Whether you listen together or individually, traveling is always more
enjoyable with an audiobook.
• Take advantage of team
sports “down time.”
Integrate audiobooks into your child’s summer youth sports
activities. Listening to an audiobook is a great way to pass the time
when a player or sibling has down time between games or events.
• Listen to an audiobook
while doing chores.
Listening to an audiobook while doing household chores give chores a
whole new meaning. Encourage your child listen to an audiobook while
walking the dog, doing dishes or folding laundry.
• Turn off the TV.
Turn off the TV, computer, Game Cube, PlayStation and Gameboy. And
turn on your child’s imagination through an audiobook adventure, science
fiction or fantasy story.
• Get hooked on a series.
Try listening to the first book in a series. Often kids are more
motivated to continue reading/listening when they are already familiar
with characters from the first book.
• Encourage your child to read along while listening.
Give your child the flexibility to
listen and read. Make sure
to look for unabridged audiobooks so your child can read along word for
word. (At All Ears Audiobooks, we feature unabridged audiobook rentals,
many of which also come with the book.)
• A good yarn makes a
great listen.
We all know children enjoy listening to stories that might be beyond
their reading level. But did you know that listening also supports
literacy skills development, providing models of pronunciation, sentence
structure and grammatical accuracy?
• Make All Ears Audiobooks your audiobook resource.
