Benefits of listening to children books on tape

Reading to our children is one of the best ways to promote their success at school, as well as build up their self-esteem.  In addition to reading to our kids learning to listen also has extremely fundamental benefits.  Listening to stories from books on tape can get kids to integrate language with imagination. Listening to books on tape rolls words and images together and can get children to create or visual the ideal scene within their minds and stimulates their imagination.

Oral communication is a very important skill to develop within our children.  There was once a time when the spoken word was all people had, there were no books or articles to read, and knowledge was passed down to people through the spoken word.  Books on tape can provide this knowledge transfer to the listener especially with excellent literature created by well known past and present authors.

When choosing books on tape consider some of the well known masterpieces from the past, or even some of the children stories that have been created by today's authors:

  • Huckleberry Finn - is one of the better older classic books on tape to listen to.  Listen to the adventures of Huck and allow your child's imagination to soar with him.
  • Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (Book 5 Audio CD) - Listen to Harry's coming of age story while he faces the thorny transition into adulthood.
  • Dr Seuss's - The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham -  Excellent books on tape for that younger child.  Both can help children learn to read and allows them to hear those single vowel sounds from which they can learn how to form words.
  • Shakespeare for Children - by Jim Weiss - Uses a distinctive storytelling style in a way that simplifies but doesn't down play the literary quality.  He uses phrases and descriptions from the text and can add life to the characters with voices and emphasis.  Great for holding the attention for listeners of all ages.
