Parent’s Guide to Enjoyable Summer 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?
