Do you have wonderful memories of being read to as a child?

Audiobooks are a brilliant resource for all readers but can be especially beneficial for reluctant readers.

Exploring audiobooks is a great way to:

• develop an appreciation for books (which will hopefully get students into reading independently down the track)
• expose children to stories above their decoding reading level but more in line with their interest or comprehension level
• develop vocabulary and awareness of genre
• develop students' memory
• and lots more!
