Apart from the fact that kids love listening to great stories, audiobooks are a proven resource for teaching reading, at all reading levels, which is why they've been used in classrooms for decades. Among many the benefits, listening builds critical vocabulary, comprehension, fluency and listening skills; in fact, adding a listening component to reading instruction has been shown to improve student achievement. Instructional methods such as The Daily 5 do just that, and the Common Core Standards spell out specific listening requirements by grade level.
Tales2Go is great for family road trips, for commuting to and from school and even during bathtime or bedtime—after you've read to your kids! Also check out our learning resources area for fun games and activities to do with your kids while listening to books and stories on Tales2Go.
